[amp_mcq option1=”Day time” option2=”High humidity” option3=”Low humidity” option4=”Night time E. None of the above” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: C. Low humidity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Sparks from static electricity can be dangerous, as they can ignite flammable materials. They can also damage electronic equipment.<\/p>\n

To reduce the risk of static electricity, you can:<\/p>\n
