autogenous electrification[edit | edit source]

The process by which net charge is built up on an object, such as an airplane, moving relative to air containing dust or ice crystals.

The electrification is produced by frictional effects (triboelectrification) accompanying contact between the object and the particulate matter.
Compare exogenous electrification.
