    High School Static electricity - Quantity of charge induced.

    @CWatters Thank you. You have given me an idea from which I can derive my charge induced. Force of friction x distance x efficiency (about 2 percent, from Van de Graaf generator efficiency)= energy stored in capacitor (0.5 x C x V2);

    High School Static electricity - Quantity of charge induced.

    Dear CWatters, First, Thank you for the reply. Please consider the following - I need the static discharge energy as the final result. I have the capacitance (C) of the body. I know the resistance (R) to ground. I need the rate of charge accumulation (Q/t) or the amount of charge accumulation...

    High School Static electricity - Quantity of charge induced.

    Hi all, Let us say I have rubbed cat fur with nylon. Is there any relation for determining the amount of charge (in Coulombs) induced on either of the materials? Thanks in advance.
