Ask students what they already know about electricity, including static electricity, lightning, batteries and circuits.
Designing circuits that can function in the real-world environment of radio interference, static electricity, lightning, power-line (60Hz) and interference without failure or damage is a secondary but equally important goal.
Steam combines with tiny particles raining out of the eruption to create high static charges, causing lightning strikes several times a second.
EMI can be natural (static electricity or lightning) or man-made.
Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electrical current.
As an added bonus, diluents also increase "the risk that an oil spill will explode if it comes into contact with high heat, sparks, static electricity or lightning".
If you are using satellite internet, your internet connection might be altered because of wind, heavy snow, rain, lightning, static, or other electrical interference.
The band name chosen from Smith's list was based on a Van de Graaff generator, a mechanical device that produces static electricity with lightning-like flashes – the misspellings are accidental.
Some officials attributed the computer error to a power surge from possible lightning or static electricity.
"He realized we were at a risk to have all our electrical systems short out and he picked up a big static charge from the lightning," Fossett said.
