Electrostatic discharge

What ESD can cause?

Friction: When two dissimilar materials come into contact and are then separated, electrons can transfer from one material to another, creating an imbalance of charge. For example, walking across a carpet can generate static electricity in a person's body.Contact: Direct contact between conductive materials can allow for charge transfer. When an object with a different potential comes into contact with a charged object, electrons can move between them. Separation: The process of separating two objects that are charged can lead to a discharge as the electrical potential equalizes.

The movement of the electrons in conductor

The flow of electrons in a circuit can be characterized by their direction and speed. When electrons move, they create a magnetic field around their path, a phenomenon that is harnessed in electric motors and generators. The movement of electrons in a circuit can be influenced by various factors, including resistance, voltage, and the material properties of the conductor.

What is the ESD?

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen when two differently charged bodies are close can make the electron move from negative to positive to restore the balance, it can happen with a spark when we touch door knobs or metal objects

The neutron is a neutral subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, alongside protons. Unlike protons and electrons, neutrons carry no electrical charge, which gives them a unique role in atomic structure and stability.

The Neutrons

The electrons

Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that play a fundamental role in the structure of atoms and the behavior of matter. Electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. They occupy specific regions known as electron shells or energy levels. These shells are organized based on increasing distance from the nucleus and are characterized by quantized energy levels.

Protons

The protons is a positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom and plays a central role in defining the identity and properties of each element. The charge of a proton is exactly opposite to that of an electron, making it a fundamental player in atomic structure by balancing the negative charges of electrons that orbit around the nucleus.
