1.Static electricity can be used in photocopiers, smoke precipitator, and spray painting 2.A charged object can be discharged by connecting it to earth with a conductor 3.Static electricity can be dangerous (e.g. lightning). If the voltage becomes too great the negative charges can jump a gap causing a spark. This spark could ignite a flammable liquid nearby.
