Q

When handling petroleum products, static electricity is generated by moving machinery and __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Static electricity generation in petroleum transfer operations • How liquid flow through pipes and hoses affects charge buildup • Difference between mechanical/electrostatic causes vs electrical faults (short circuits, stray currents)

💭 Think About

• In a cargo transfer, what is physically rubbing or moving against what to create static charge? • Which choice describes something that happens continuously whenever petroleum is pumped, regardless of electrical faults? • Which options are about electrical system problems rather than normal sources of static charge in flowing fuel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the source you choose involves normal operation of fuel handling, not a malfunction or fault condition • Eliminate options that depend on pre‑existing electricity (like short circuits or stray currents) instead of generating static • Confirm that the option you select can create static even if all equipment is properly grounded and functioning normally
