Static has several meanings:
- Static electricity, a net charge of an object
- The triboelectric effect, e. For the science of static charges see Electrostatics Static electricity refers to the accumulation of excess Electric charge in a Triboelectric Series Materials are often listed in order of the polarity of charge separation when they are touched with another object g. from shoes rubbing carpet
- White noise, a random signal with a flat power spectral density
- Statics, a branch of physics concerned with physical systems in equilibrium
- Static spacetime, a spacetime in which the geometry does not change
- Static character, a character who does not undergo significant change during the course of a story
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. White noise is a random signal (or process with a flat Power spectral density. Radio noise in radio reception is the superposition of White noise (also called "static" and other disturbing influences on the signal caused either by Thermal Noise in analog Video and Television is perceived as a random dot pattern which is superimposed on the picture as a result of Electronic noise and Statics is the branch of Mechanics concerned with the analysis of loads ( Force, torque/moment) on Physical systems in Static 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 Static code analysis is the analysis of computer Software that is performed without actually executing programs built from that software (analysis performed on executing An Internet Protocol ( IP) address is a numerical identification ( Logical address) that is assigned to devices participating in a Computer network
- 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,variables that are common to all objects. In Integrated circuit design dynamic logic (or sometimes clocked logic) is a design methodology Logic family in digital logic that was popular In Object-oriented programming, the term method refers to a Subroutine that is exclusively associated either with a class (called class methods Static random access memory (SRAM is a type of Semiconductor memory where the word static indicates that unlike ''dynamic'' RAM (DRAM, it does not In Computer science, a type system defines how a Programming language classifies values and expressions into '''types''', how it can Global variable|Static memory allocationIn Computer programming, static variables data value persists for the life of the running process and typically have a broader scope
