This week, the Kingdom is expected to be affected by the burst of eastern winds of varying intensity, especially during the second half. feeling cold.

 

The eastern wind leads to an increase in the phenomenon of transmission of static electricity or what is known as the slang "electrification" between people when they shake hands with each other or when touching material things such as car or belongings of the house,

 

What is the scientific explanation for the phenomenon of "electrification"?

Science refers to the phenomenon of electrification or “static electricity transmission” because when the air is dry, the water vapor ratio is very low, and therefore the movement of different ions (positive and negative) towards each other and therefore static electricity occurs .

 

On the other hand, if the air is humid, the rate of water vapor is large and therefore not transmitted to different ions between people or material alike, but discharge through the water droplets, so we do not feel the phenomenon of "electrification" too much .

 

How can the phenomenon of “electrification” be avoided or reduced?
