Fun Facts
How to avoid getting shocked
To explain how to avoid the shock, we should understand what static electricity is first. Static electricity is simply a build up of an electrical charge on the surface of an object. When thecharges are the same, the objects push away from each other. Remember rubbing your hair on a balloon when you were young and making your hair stand on end? It stood up because each hair had a positive charge and was repelling against the other.
So, how do you avoid the static and thus the shock?
