Static Electricity
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 8:02 pm
For those who have difficulty coming to grips with the how static electricity works/interferes/interacts with your car/or anything else
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material.
The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge..
For modeling the effect of static discharge on sensitive electronic devices, a human being is represented as a capacitor of 100 picofarads, charged to a voltage of 4000 to 35000 volts. When touching an object this energy is discharged in less than a microsecond..
Are you having a little trouble understanding this?
If so, the next photo should clear things up!
