Electrostatics - Charge Neutralization

Charge Neutralization

Natural electrostatic phenomena are most familiar as an occasional annoyance in seasons of low humidity, but can be destructive and harmful in some situations (e.g. electronics manufacturing). When working in direct contact with integrated circuit electronics (especially delicate MOSFETs), or in the presence of flammable gas, care must be taken to avoid accumulating and suddenly discharging a static charge (see electrostatic discharge).

Famous quotes containing the word charge:

    Martial, the things for to attain
    The happy life be these, I find:
    The riches left, not got with pain;
    The fruitful ground, the quiet mind;
    The equal friend; no grudge nor strife;
    No charge of rule nor governance;
