Air usually does not allow an electric charge to pass through it. Why?

Air usually does not allow an electric charge to pass through it. Why?Every substance has a property called resistance; which is the resistance to electric current passing through it. Air happens to have a very high resistance. The resistivity of the air is 1. 3 × 10^16 to 3. 3 × 10^16Ω-m at 200 C. Specific resistance depends on a number of factors such as temperature and particulate matter in the air.Air usually does not allow an electric charge to pass through it. Why?

How do I remedy my weird electric charge?

Some people are naturally strong receptors of strong static electricity build-up. There are certain ways that can be done to remedy this problem. Because carpet floorings are the major source of static electricity, you could try wearing shoes that have rubber soles. A change in the preference for clothes that absorbs or conducts static electricity could also help. Lastly, if you could be comfortable wearing gloves, then do so

How are electric charges produced?

Charges are produced due to a source providing some energy. e.g cell. Firstly source creates potential difference between terminals and due to this electron at negative end of the terminal move towards positive terminal. In contrast, conventional current flows from positive to negative. In AC circuit electron stay at same place and just vibrate and energy is just passed around the circuit.

How long should I wait to safely be able to open my PSU?

Actually never, but i have done this (cleaning the inside or changing the fan .) 3 times and luckily did not have any electric shock. Just do not touch the wires (around transformers) and capacitors coz they are the possible sources of electric charge.

Once the car engine is up and running on petrol or diesel, does the car battery still supply electric charge to the car electricals like the music system, dashboard lights, headlights, tail lights, etc.?

Once,the car is running,an alternator takes over,and alsocharges the battery simultaneously!

Do electronic components after testing retain a electric charge?

it is possible, if the circuit does not have a proper ground connection

What is the source of the electric charge on the electron? [duplicate]

A The article "Is the electron a photon with toroidal topology?" dated 1996 or 1993 proposes the charge emerge from the photon which become electron by making two loops within one wavelength. Looping cause the photon lost it helicity and electric field become radially and magnetic field axially oriented. There is no peer reviewed paper referencing this work. On the other hand some recent experiments shows a photon can do curves using near field (evanescent waves).

What are the downsides of electric car proliferation?

Downsides of electric car proliferation:Reading people on Quora who find it difficult to stick with the question. Downsides of electric vehicles, folks. Downsides.Long charge time. Driving to Denver from Kansas City, one would need to fill the battery probably 4 times. If the gasoline fill is the same 4 times, figure about 10 minutes per fill. If the fill is electric charge into a battery, what is the time to charge? An hour each? 40 minutes filling gas versus 4 hours filling charge. The trip is about 9 hours using gas and 12.5 hours using electricity.I ran out of gas in my truck the other day. I walked to the gas station and got a gallon of gas and walked back to my car, filled up and drove back to the station to fill up all the way. Total lost time was 1/2 hour. What if I run outta charge in my electric vehicle? How do I carry charge from the plugin to the car?If we replace gasoline with electricity does fossil fuel go away? My boat, my 20 horsepower 62 inch deck mower, airplanes, delivery trucks, people who own $ million $ vintage Ferrari's, motorcycles, Bulldozers?

how do we use electric charge in our lives?

Biologically speaking or technologically? Our nervous system uses electric charge. Biochemistry within our bodies is based upon electric charge. There are probably 1000 examples. Technologically we could repeat chemistry, all matter is based upon positive, negative and neutral charges, anything that runs on electricity from both the mains and on batteries. There are very few things that would not be included but start with your computer and almost all transportation, construction, sales, the internet, communication, farming (chemical fertilizers etc...) .... Gravity and solar energy are not directly electrical in nature but almost every way we harness and react to these things does involve some electro / chemical nature.
