Photcopiers do use static electricity as an integral part of the copying process. A simplified description of how this is done is given below.
Stage onePositive charge is applied to a plate from a high voltage power supply. The plate is connected to the earth (electrical ground) but the charge does not have quite enough energy to flow away Stage twoA light is shown onto the page to be copied and reflected onto the plate. Where the paper is dark no light reaches the plate. Where the paper is white (or light) the light falling on the plate gives it just the extra energy needed to allow the charge to escape to earth (ground). The plate becomes neutral where the paper is white but keeps its charge where the paper is black. The plate surface now has an invisible, electrostatic copy of the original. Stage threeElectrically charged toner particles are sprayed onto the plate. The charged toner is attracted to the areas of positive charge, creating a toner image of the original on the plate . Stage fourA piece of paper is given a very strong positive charge, and then placed in contact with the plate. The paper attracts the toner away from the plate. The paper is then removed from the plate and passed through a heating unit. The heat melts the toner and bonds it to the paper, producing a photocopy.In a modern photocopier, there is no plate, just a large drum. As the drum rotates it's surface goes through stages one through four. At the end of the sequence a scraper removes any toner left on the drum and the whole process is repeated with a new image.
A good photocopier, duplicator or printer (all use the same technology) is capable of producing 20 to 200 pages per minute (20- 200 ppm) depending on machine design.
Yes the electrons form the pattern that the ink sticks to
static electricity is static electricity
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
I would suggest "shocking science" as a title for a project about static electricity.
Many things, common practical uses are; Paint spraying cars: the paint particles are given a negative charge, and the car frame is given a positive charge, so the paint sprays out, and sicks to the car, and is attracted to all the hard- to reach areas Electrosatic precipitator; in coal fired power station theses are used to stop the dust particles reaching the atmosphere. Particles of ass pass through a charged grid, and becone charged. They then stick to plated either side of this grid, where they can be disposed of safely Photocopier; A charged drum is in the photocopier. Light is then shone through the paper, and whete ther is no print light hits the drum and it looses its charge. This leaves charge where there needs to be ink. Ink is the pulled onto the charged drum, and transfered onto paper Antistatic floors; to avoid static charges in hospital, the floors are made out of an antistatic material, so no charge can build up.
Electrostatic separation - is the use of static electricity to separate one substance from another.
i dont no
A photocopier.

Is a photocopier.
Static electricity is used to attract the toner to certain parts of the paper. Note that the toner is the paint stuff; it is NOT an ink, it's a black powder.
Static electricity is useful in several ways. It causes attraction between particles, which makes it useful in air pollution control and photocopier technology.
A photocopier works by exploiting the principle of static electricity. Typically, the copier uses the reflection of light from the page to determine which areas need to be printed.
everything electronic is static electricity
electricity
Static is the name of an electricity, a spark is like the outcome of friction. Like, you can use static electricity to make a spark.
