Good Day! peps,
I would like to ask if "Surface Electric Potential" is the same as "Electrostatic Discharge Voltage" of ESD generators? Are they related? and is there a website where I can have some reference regarding in this topic?
If you Google "surface electric potential" you'll see your query to CR 4 posted and immediately above it is an explanation of the phenomena. We aren't allowed to copy any copyrighted material from Google (or other sources) or I would have posted here for you. Sorry

Sorry, I should have done that. Try this link; http://www.rwc.uc.edu/koehler/biophys/4b.html . It's rather wordy but way down in the text the author does explain the electron migration which causes electrical potential on surfaces.
In answer to your question I think more information regarding "surface electric potential" can be found under the heading of "electrostatic discharge" and "triboelectric phenomena".
Hopefully this will help you. Those in the solid propellant and explosives business are acutely aware of triboelectric phenomena and it's potential for ignition. De-ionizing air flow, conductive surfaces, non sparking materials and other safety precautions are well studied and stringent material handling rules are implemented to prevent industrial accidents.
You have chosen an interesting area to investigate. I hope you will return and post some interesting questions to stimulate us all.

good day taejonkwando, the suggested web sites' pages are a goldmine of information not just to those with a physicsts bent but to myself. reasoning for understanding how what is left of my brain (literally) is able to work as well as it does has finally become available and understood by me. thank you so much. I think Sparky should nominate your reply and your thinking style for a GRADE "A+" thumbs up mark on the CR4's pages/postings.
Dear Guest. Thank you for the compliment but I fear "Sparky' is a far more difficult taskmaster and will not grade my rather plebien efforts with an A+ as you suggest. I would be very pleased with and 'honorable mention' from someone as formidable as Sparky.
However the intent of my participation is not to collect "good answers". It is my intent to aid someone in finding their own answers. Sometimes I find my explanations to be less informative than a direct quotation from the source. So where ever possible, I will direct an inquiry to the source rather than my sometimes inadequate intreptation.
Please join CR4 and bring you expertise to this and all the forums CR4 supports. You can enjoy these sometimes "energetic" dialogs which abound in Cosmology, Electronics, General, Science, Chemistry and others.
These forums provide stimulating and often diametrically opposing points of view with surprisingly clever and often entertaining rationals. You won't be dissappointed if you love discussing technology and it's influence. Your input is always welcome. However be prepared, it may not always find agreement. But that is what discovery is all about isn't it?
