Is a person a good conductor?
Yes-we are composed of 95% water with salt and that's a good conductor. If you want to avoid static electricity shock, carry a quarter with you and touch metal first to discharge yourself. :-

How can static electricity be removed from clothes?
Thanks to GOOGLE. I searched "remove static from clothing". I got about a zillion hits. This one was near the top; http://www.homelifeweekly.com/clothes/6-quick-ways-to-remove-static-cling-from-clothing/
5 examples of static electricity?
1) Electrostatic precipitation uses static electricity and an electrical charge to filter air pollution by charging harmful particles so they are attracted to collection plates. 2) In electronics and industry, static electricity is used in capacitors in a number of ways for various applications.
What fabric is best suited wool nylon polyester or any combination of these to avoid static electricity?
None of these. Wear cotton and it will massively protect against static.
Can you put petrol in while the car is running?
I'm assuming you are asking theoretically and so I won't ask "and why would you want to do that?" ! Safety regulations ask you to switch off the engine, even the lights and your cell phone. Why? Because of the risk of explosions. Petrol vapour is very heavy - we all know how difficult it is to get out of the car if the windows and door were open while filling up. There is a chance that all those electric things we just mentioned could cause a spark, albeit a small one, and that in the presence of petrol vapour and oxygen in the air could cause a huge explosion. I've see petrol (gas) stations on fire and it is no fun at all. They go to tremendous lengths to avoid the possibility of static electricity sparks in the hoses and canules of petrol stations but sometimes it happens - I sometimes create a spark when I touch the car and wonder how dangerous it is for me to fill up sometimes.
When circuit boards are static how do you make them antistatic?
Dont understand the question! You mean that your circuit boards are charged with static electricity? If so, direct a flow of ionized air over the boards from an Ionizer suitable for use on electronics to neutralize the static electricity. To avoid the boards becoming charged again handle them on static dissipative working surface and wear an antistatic wriststrap. Carlos Neffe
How a computer technician can utilize any safety tool to avoid static electricity on electronic components?
You can buy an anti-static wristband, or you could stand on a rubber mat. Also there are special screwdrivers that are anti-static. But I have built 3 computers and I have never used any anti-static precautions!
Why is it important for people to avoid electric shocks?
An electric shock is static electricity built up, and when it is touched, it will shock you and you will be seriously ingured or even killed.
Why do oil takers seamen wear conducting shoe soles?
It's to avoid the possibility of static electricity build-up. If static reaches a point where it can create a spark - it could ignite the stored oil - causing a fire.
How do you avoid to put petrol into diesel car?
You avoid it by looking carefully at the fuel pump and making darn sure you are using the diesel nozzle which is larger than a petrol nozzle.

How do you discharge static electricity?
If you touch the charged item to the ground, the charge will go into the ground. This is because static electricity is caused by either having too many or not enough elecrons. When toughed to the ground, the item will either get rid of the electrons or pick more up, making it neutral.
How can you avoid getting shocked because of static electricity?
actually yes!... you can... although it will be consider a weird thing to do. Constantly be touching wood. Never, if you don't want to be shocked, touch metal without touching wood first. There are other ways to stop getting shocked by static electricity. One way is to put lotion on exposed skin areas. See the Related Link for more ideas.
How do you avoid static inertia when performing a resting stroke?
Don't move
How can you avoid getting a shock from static electricity when you touch a metal doorknob?
I hate them too.When the humidity is low, static charge will build up no matter how hard you try to avoid it. The only thing I have found is to touch metal object with something else before touching my hand.
