• Static electricity, a net charge of an object and conducts itself to a less charged object witch is were you get the static shock
  • The triboelectric effect, e.g. from shoes rubbing carpet
• White noise, a random signal with a flat power spectral density
  • Noise (radio), a type of radio interference
  • Noise (video), the "snow" seen on a TV screen
• Statics, a branch of physics concerned with physical systems in equilibrium
  • Fluid statics, the science of fluids at rest
• Static spacetime, a spacetime in which the geometry does not change

Static electricity is a class of phenomena involving the net charge present on an object; typically referring to charged object with voltages of sufficient magnitude to produce visible attraction, repulsion, and sparks. ... The triboelectric effect is a type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged after coming into contact with another different material, and are then separated. ... Calculated spectrum of a generated approximation of white noise White noise is a random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density. ... Radio noise If there was no noise picked up with radio signals, then tiny transmitters could be received at any distance just by making a radio receiver that was sensitive enough. ... Video noise In video and television, noise refers to the random dot pattern that is superimposed on the picture as a result of electronic noise, the snow that is seen with poor (analog) television reception or on VHS tapes. ... Statics is the branch of physics concerned with physical systems in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at rest under the action of external forces of equilibrium. ... Fluid statics (also called hydrostatics) is the science of fluids at rest, and is a sub-field within fluid mechanics. ... In general relativity, a spacetime is said to be static if it admits a global, nowhere zero, timelike hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector field. ...

In computer science

• Static code analysis is a set of methods for analyzing code without running it
• Static linking, where identifiers are associated with data or sections of code during linking not run-time
• Static IP address, an address configured on a device which does not change
• Static logic, digital logic which does not use a clock signal
• Static method, a method of a class that does not need an explicit object reference
• Static random access memory, a type of semiconductor memory which retains its contents as long as power is applied
• Static typing, where type checking is applied at compile-time not run-time
• Static variables may be constants, local function variables, or class variables depending on the context

Static analysis is the term applied to the analysis of computer software that is performed without actually executing programs built from that software (analysis performed on executing programs is known as dynamic analysis). ... Figure of the linking process, where object files and static libraries are assembled into a new library or executable. ... This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... Dynamic logic (or sometimes clocked logic) is a design methodology in digital logic that was popular in the 1970s and has seen a recent resurgence in the design of high speed digital electronics, particularly computer CPUs. ... Used mainly in object-oriented programming, the term method refers to a piece of code that is exclusively associated either with a class (called class methods or static methods) or with an object (called instance methods). ... Static random access memory (SRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory. ... In computer science, a type system defines how a programming language classifies values and expressions into types, how it can manipulate those types and how they interact. ... In computer programming, static variables typically have a broader scope than other variables. ...
