Static Shock

When some one mentions static shock, you may think of the beloved cartoons or Tv show slapstick. But here we are dealing with the shock that is caused by static electricity. Shock is a trauma resulting from electricity passing through ones body to another object. If you touch a live galvanic wire, the current flows through your person to the ground. This gives you a jolt, which could be severe, or even fatal. Such shocks can come from static electricity as well. An example of this is the jerk you might feel if you walk vigorously on a carpeting and then touch a metal object, say, a doorknob or any conductor (a material that does not resist electricity) for that matter. The same impact may be felt in a handshake or a kiss. What takes place is an electrostatic discharge (Esd).

To understand static electricity one has to look at atoms. Each atom consists of for real expensed Protons, Neutrons that are neutral and Electrons, which have negative charge. Ordinarily an atom has equal amount of Protons and Electrons, balancing each other. This keeps the atom without any charge. But when the balance is upset, static electricity generates and remains stagnant till it finds an outlet through Esd.

The parity in the middle of the sure charge and the negative charge in an atom can be destabilized when an Electron migrates. Protons and Neutrons Ordinarily remain with the atom. The change of Electrons takes place either due to disagreement or stress, or by induction, that is, when an object is in a static field.

The Electrons that have moved from an atom are negatively charged. They seek the opposite, for real expensed particles. When you touch a conductive material, the electron flows to that material. This quick drainage is felt as a shock. You may find more instances of such shock while winter. This is because dry air is very conducive to the build up of static electricity.

Generally, manufacturing plants take precautions against static electricity and static shock. There are separate equipment and systems for this. But in homes, if the qoute is getting to be more than a nuisance, a transported humidifier can possibly handle it. Consult an master or the manufacturers.
