Non-Violent, Disruptive Protest. The Vice President for Student Life or his/her designee will go to the area and ask the protestors to leave or to discontinue the disruptive activities. âI am _________________, speaking on behalf of the University of Iowa.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribocharging or by electrostatic induction. The ESD occurs when differently-charged objects are brought close together or when the dielectric between them breaks down, often creating a visible spark.
There are five types of electrical discharges: 1  Spark, responsible for the majority of industrial fires and explosions where static electricity is involved. Sparks occur between objects at different electric potentials. 2  Brush discharge occurs from a nonconductive charged surface or highly charged nonconductive liquids.
