Glossary: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Generating a static charge diagram

ESD – electrostatic discharge – is the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced by a high electrostatic field.

Note: Usually, the charge flows through a spark between two bodies at different electrostatic potentials as they approach one another. Details of such processes, such as the rate of the charge transfer, are described in specific electrostatic discharge models.
