It often happens in winter that as soon as you shake hands with someone or touch a door, latch or any metal object, you suddenly feel an electric shock. For a moment, a feeling like a needle prick startles us and a question arises in our mind that when there is no electricity inside a person, then where does this current come from?
is it really electric shock Is it or just an illusion? Actually, the reason behind this is not electricity but science and static energy. Let us know why this happens?
Everything in our world, be it a human being, a chair or clothes, is made of atoms. There are three things inside an atom. Electron (negative charge), Proton (positive charge), Neutron (no charge). Generally, there is a balance of electrons and protons in our body. But sometimes this balance gets disturbed and the number of electrons increases, then current occurs.
Many times you might have felt that you get a shock even before you touch an object. This happens when the amount of electrons in your body is very high. The object in front attracts the charge as soon as it comes near. That is, the electrons jump even before direct contact occurs.
The problem of electrocution often increases in winter. The reason for this is dry air. In summer, there is moisture in the air, which slowly destroys the charge. At the same time, the air is dry in winter, due to which static charge remains accumulated for a long time, hence tremors are felt more in winter.
