Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. Low humidity.
Static electricity is a build-up of electrical charge on an object. It can occur when two objects rub together, such as when you walk across a carpet and then touch a doorknob. The amount of static electricity that builds up depends on a number of factors, including the humidity in the air.
When the air is dry, there are fewer water molecules to carry away the electrical charge. This means that the charge can build up to a higher level, which can make it more likely to cause a spark.
Sparks from static electricity can be dangerous, as they can ignite flammable materials. They can also damage electronic equipment.
To reduce the risk of static electricity, you can:
- Keep the humidity in the air high.
- Wear shoes with rubber soles.
- Avoid touching objects that are likely to be charged with static electricity, such as doorknobs and computer screens.
- Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
- Ground yourself by touching a metal object before touching anything else.
