Static electricity can be just a few volts (that you might experience from a nylon carpet) - or tens of thousands from a lighting bolt !

Can 30 volts damage computer components?
At least 3000 volts of static electricity must build up before a person can feel ESD. For example, static electricity can build up on you as you walk across a carpeted floor. When you touch another person, you both receive a shock. If the discharge causes pain or makes a noise, the charge was probably above 10,000 volts. By comparison, less than 30 volts of static electricity can damage a computer component.
Does damage by esd permanently damages the computer?
Of course it does! To see static charges equalizing, turn off the lights in a room, scuff your feet on the carpet, and touch another person. Occasionally, you can see and feel the charge in your fingers. If you can feel the charge, you discharged at least 1,500 volts of static electricity. If you hear the discharge, you released at least 6,000 volts. If you see the discharge, you released at least 8,000 volts of ESD. A charge of only 10 volts can damage electronic components! You can touch a chip on an expansion card or motherboard, damage the chip with ESD, and never feel, hear, or see the discharge.
How many wires supply electricity to your home?

How many volts are there in a megavolt?
1 megavolt = 1,000,000 volts
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 !
