You have likely experienced a static ‘shock’ after walking across a carpet, just as John Travoltage did in the simulator. Which of the following best explains why this is much more likely to happen on a cold, dry, winter’s day than a warm, humid, summer’s day?
Select one:
a.
Negative charges are transferred to you from the carpet on both warm and cold days, but these excess negative charges do not remain on you. Instead, they are removed almost immediately by humid air.
