Why does Leng Yue easily generate static electricity?

Specifically, when the weather is cold, the air is dry, and the static electricity generated by friction is not easy to be conducted away through the air. In fact, static electricity is generated all the time, but the air is humid in summer, and static electricity is quickly transmitted to the underground and the air through sweat and the surrounding air. Therefore, the colder the weather, the easier it is to generate static electricity.

Extended data:

In 600 BC, the Greeks discovered that polished amber can attract light and small objects, which is the phenomenon of static electricity. In daily life, when people comb their hair with a plastic comb or take off clothes made of chemical fiber, they sometimes hear a slight discharge sound, which is also an electrostatic phenomenon. Lightning is an electrostatic phenomenon in nature.

There are many electrostatic phenomena in industrial production. As an advanced technology, electrostatic technology has been widely used, such as electrostatic dust removal, electrostatic coating, electrostatic flocking, electrostatic copying, electrostatic mineral processing and so on. All these work by using the characteristics of static electricity.

On the other hand, static electricity generated in the production process will cause a lot of harm, especially in the production departments of petroleum, chemical industry, chemical fiber, plastics, rubber, raw powder, printing, paper making, etc., harmful static electricity is often encountered, which hinders production, gives people an electric shock and causes explosions and fires. With the rapid development of industry, accidents caused by static electricity are increasing day by day, so we must actively study the safety of static electricity.
