Electrostatic Basics
What is the main purpose of using electrostatic sprayers in agriculture?
What is to improve droplet adhesion to plant surfaces?
Which physics law explains why charged droplets repel each other?
What is Coulomb’s Law?
What is a key benefit of electrostatic spraying in terms of coverage?
What is it covers all parts of the plant, including undersides of leaves?
This term describes the electric process that gives droplets a charge.
What is charging?
How does electrostatic spraying impact chemical drift?
What is it reduces drift by keeping the spray closer to the plant?
Which component in an electrostatic sprayer charges the liquid droplets?
What is the high-voltage electrode?
What principle causes the charged droplets to stick to all plant surfaces, even hidden ones?
What is the wraparound effect?
What is the impact of electrostatic spraying on chemical use?
What is it reduces the amount of chemicals needed?
What term describes the process of breaking up the liquid into tiny particles?
What is atomization?
Why is less pesticide use beneficial for the environment?
What is it reduces chemical runoff into the soil and water?
What type of charge is given to the droplets in electrostatic spraying?

What happens to the droplets as they exit the sprayer nozzle?
What is they are atomized into a fine mist?
Why might farmers save money with electrostatic spraying?
What is because less pesticide is wasted and less is needed overall?
