We often encounter a very embarrassing situation, which is "electric shock". At first, I thought it was a way to prevent theft, but I was really curious. Later, I asked my neighbor about this problem, and I found out that it was done to prevent static electricity.

In autumn and winter, the temperature is relatively low and the climate is relatively dry. We often encounter a very embarrassing situation, which is "electric shock". The "electric shock" mentioned here is not high-voltage electricity, but "static electricity" that can be seen everywhere.

Although static electricity will not cause any harm to the body, it is easy to be startled by a sudden "electricity", and the numbing and itching feeling is definitely uncomfortable. I believe everyone has experienced this kind of "electric shock". In autumn and winter, when touching metal objects, wearing sweaters, or coming into contact with others, you will be "electrically shocked" inadvertently.

I saw my downstairs neighbor touching the doorknob with a coin every time before opening the door. At first, I thought it was a way to prevent theft, but I was really curious. Later, I asked my neighbor about this problem, and I found out that it was done to prevent static electricity.

today shares with you several anti-static tips, which are very practical and can effectively avoid "electric shock" in autumn and winter.

1. Coins to remove static electricity

Let’s first talk about the method of removing static electricity with coins. This was taught to me by my neighbor downstairs, and the effect is very good.

Door handles are made of metal, which is very easy to generate static electricity in autumn and winter. When you open the door, you can easily get an "electric shock" if you reach out directly. The feeling makes people tremble.

Before we open the door, we can take a coin and rub it back and forth on the door handle a few times. Because door handles and coins are made of metal, most of the static electricity can be absorbed after a few rubs. At this time, when we reach out to open the door, we don't have to worry about "electric shock" at all.

2. Battery static electricity removal

I believe many people have the same experience as me, that is, in the winter, when I take off my sweater, I am often electrocuted to the point where my hair stands on end, and there is a "crackling" sound of static electricity.

Before taking off the sweater, we can rub the positive electrode of the battery on the sweater a few times, which can effectively solve the static electricity problem on the clothes. The reason for this effect is that the static electricity on the sweater can be transferred to the battery during the friction process of the battery.

In addition to sweaters, coats, sheets, quilt covers, curtains, etc., rubbing with a battery a few times in places where static electricity is likely to occur can effectively prevent static electricity.

3. Towel removes static electricity

The main reason why static electricity is generated in autumn and winter is that the climate is dry and the skin is dry, so static electricity is generated when touching many things. We can use a towel dipped in water and wipe our hands to keep them moist, so we don't have to worry about static electricity.

4. Apply hand cream to remove static electricity

As we just mentioned, because the skin on your hands is dry, it is easy to generate static electricity. In addition to keeping your hands moist with a damp towel, we can also apply moisturizing cream to remove static electricity.

The principle is the same as wiping your hands with a wet towel. If you keep your hands moist, you don't have to worry about "electric shock".

5. Rub the wall to eliminate static electricity

When you need to touch metal, if you are afraid of being electrostatically charged, you can first put your hands on the wall and rub it a few times. This method can also effectively eliminate static electricity.

Summary

Why some people are not afraid of static electricity, while some people are often shocked by it. In addition to eliminating static electricity on metal and cloth through coins and batteries, we can also solve the problem ourselves.

For example, eating more fruits and vegetables, or applying hand cream to replenish moisture can also avoid the generation of static electricity.
