A static shock is caused by?

You get static shock when the air is dry, mostly during the winter. Electrical currents run through your fingers, and when you touch something, all the current rush to the thing you touched, causing a shock. Static current developed in any device can cause a static shock. Static current if discharged by direct human touch can cause damage to electronic devices.

What problems are caused by static electricity and what are the solutions?

Many people have static problems, especially in the winter when the indoor air is very dry. But don't worry, static elimination may be easier than you think. There are many steps you can take to eliminate static electricity, and many static control products available. Static Elimination Tips Our expert in static electricity in the electronics industry suggests trying the following to get rid of static electricity problems in your home or office: 1) Increase the humidity in your house and workplace. Air is much drier in the winter, which increases the frequency and severity of shocks. Use a humidifier. 2) Change clothes - switch to natural fibres, since synthetics pick up more of a static charge. 3) Change shoes - there are special conductive shoes in a variety of styles. They are made for people working in the electronics industry. You will need to find a store or catalogue that sells or can order them for you. (Search on line for "esd shoes") 4) If your skin is very dry - try an anti-static hand lotion (also available for the electronics industry.) Here are 3 more suggestions for static control from other sources: 1) Walk barefoot. (Or, as silly as it may sound, cover your shoes with aluminium foil when possible) to reduce the static build up. 2) Wear a thimble on your finger, or carry a coin, and use them to touch grounded metal objects as often as possible. This will not eliminate the static discharge, but will stop the pain you feel in your fingertips. 3) Be sure to ground yourself before touching sensitive electronic equipment.
