How do I get rid of static shock/electricity?
SO MANY FALSE OR EVEN STUPPID ANSWERS UNTIL NOW !!!! =================================== =================================== =================================== THE GOOD ANSWER IS: =================================== =================================== Static energy appears when you wear plastic clothes and touch/rub plastic surfaces (like chairs, car seats, and floor). When you touch a metal surface that IT IS CONNECTED to the ground (and only then) all the energy accumulated in you discharge suddenly. This can be painful. To get rid of that static energy/charge you should discharge it slowly. How? It is very simple: Go to a shop that sell electronic components (parts) and buy a resistor of 100 KOhm. It is really cheap, something like 3-10 cents (American dollar cent). If you are asked about the power of that resistor, your answer is: it doesn’t matter. Anyway I recommend you a resistor of at least 1 Watt because it a little bit larger (2 or 3 centimeter long) and it is more difficult
