Based on a mathematical-physical approach, this reference provides a review on static electricity and the problems it causes. The text explores the harmful and damaging known effects of static electricity on electrical and electronic equipment, and also the possible solutions and applications that can be used to stop it. The text centres around the fundamental concepts and the derivation of the mathematical and practical interrelations concerning electrostatic phenomena. The text discusses: how static electric phenomena appears as ESD problems in almost all fields of the electronic industry. For example, explosions occurring in chemical pharmaceutical factories and laboratories, production nuisances in textile and printing plants, and indoor environment problems affecting people in a multitude of different ways; the characteristic static electric effects; the principles of measurements of special static electric quantities; the theory of measurement - metrology.
This book should be of interest to electrical and electronic engineers; design engineers; communications engineers; instrumentation and control engineers and designers; manufacturing and industrial engineers; plant engineers and facilities managers; microelectronics packaging engineers; designers and technicians.
