They're not. An electric field on ferroelectrics can alter the magnetic dipole ordering in localised areas... which is how the RAM is "written".

So basically- when you try to write the ram it's already appearing as written or something like that- in any case the important factor is the magnetic dipole arrangement is altered. Leading to read-write errors.

Although, the actual amount of static you'd need to transmit, and the size of the area you'd transmit it to, alters the amount of damage- and i'm not sure about either.
