What is the purpose of wearing an antistatic wrist strap?
The human body naturally accumulates static electricity - through friction with the man-made fibres we wear. An anti-static wrist strap is connected to just the earth circuit in the household mains supply - this sends any build up of static down to earth - preventing it getting to the computer. Many computer circuits are so delicate that a tiny amount of static is enough either to wipe a computer chip - or even damage the circuitry within the chip itself !
