Many of a computer's internal components, such as the random access memory (RAM) and central processing unit (CPU), are very
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). You have probably experienced ESDs yourself, if you have ever shuffled your feet across a
carpeted floor and then touched a metal doorknob. You experienced a small shock, as the excess electrons you stripped from the
carpet are transferred to the door knob. If the relative humidity in the room is low, the buildup of charge on the surface of your body,
which acts like an insulator, can be significant-more than enough to damage a computer's components. To prevent ESDs, people
assembling computers will wear antistatic equipment, such as that shown in the photo. The wrist strap is said to be grounded, which
gives the static charge a safe conducting path away from the body, thereby protecting the computer components. In walking across a
carpeted hallway, a computer technician acquires a charge of -4.79 x 10-9 C. Assume he…

- Why do some clothes cling together after being removed from the clothes dryer? Does this happen if they're still damp?arrow_forwardThe immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, an uncoordinated quivering of the heart, as opposed to proper beating. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart will sometimes start organized beating again. A defibrillator is a device that applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time of a few milliseconds. The device contains a capacitor of a few microfarads, charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes called paddles, about 8 cm across and coated with conducting paste, are held against the chest on both sides of the heart. Their handles are insulated to prevent injury to the operator, who calls Clear! and pushes a button on one paddle to discharge the capacitor through the patient's chest Assume an energy of 3.00 102 W s is to be delivered from a 30.0-F capacitor. To what potential difference must it be charged?arrow_forwardAn electrophorus is a device developed more than 200 years ago for the purpose of charging objects. The insulator on top of a pedestal is rubbed with a cloth, such as wool (Fig. P23.18A). A conductor is placed on top of the insulator, and the conductor is connected to ground by a conducting wire (Fig. P23.18B). (The conductor has an insulating handle, so charge cannot be transferred between the person and the conductor.) The conductor is then removed (Fig. P23.18C). The conductor may then be used to transfer charge to other objects. If the insulators charge after being Ribbed with the wool is negative, what is the charge of the conductor when it is removed?arrow_forward

Then look up the speed with which the ink comes out the nozzle. Can you calculate the typical mass of an ink drop?arrow_forwardA typical commercial airplane is struck by lightning about once per year.

If this rate of charge transfer persists for 4.5 s, how many electrons pass through the chest?arrow_forwardWhen your classmates open the door to exit your school's new fully carpeted theater, they frequently complain of unpleasant electric shocks.
