    Hello, about your question I think that this situation may be caused by static electricity in the body, which is mostly caused by friction with clothing, if it comes into contact with the human body or metal substances, it will lead to discharge and cause discomfort.

    Some people's bodies seem to be a power body, and when others touch them, they will feel a slight burst of electric numbness. If you touch his body with a sensitive electric pen, the electric pen will actually light up. What's going on?

    A person's body can be electrified! Scientists working in electrophysiology tell us that animal cell membranes are insulating, but they have electrolyte properties.

    Measurements have shown that the human body also has electrolyte properties, and the electrolyte characteristics of each person's body are different, even the same person, with the change of metabolic activities, the electrolyte characteristics of the body are different at different times. The human body is like a resistor, and some people have a large resistance value (so large that it is almost insulated); Some people have very small resistance (as small as only a few tens of ohms). Now, we live in a space full of static electricity and induced potential.

    A large number of measurements confirm that the higher above the ground, the greater the electrostatic potential. So why aren't people injured by static electricity that reaches hundreds of volts?

    This is due to the fact that the "resistor" of the human body has a small resistance value under normal circumstances, and it is difficult for the charge to accumulate, so the human body is close to the equipotential of the earth, and it will not produce a large current. However, when the body is resistant, electrostatic charges can build up in the body. In addition to space static electricity, the electrostatic charge also comes from the friction of chemical fiber clothing on the body, the friction of plastic soles, and the friction of dry** with hair or other insulation.

    For example, in a dark night with a dry climate, when you take off your sweater, there is a crackling discharge sound and a flash of discharge, which is exactly the charge generated on the clothing at work. When we walk in rubber or plastic-soled shoes, we are constantly generating an electric charge, just like a rolling car tire is electrically charged. Automobiles, especially tank trucks, have to drag down a chain at the rear of the vehicle to allow the accumulated charge to release to the ground in order to eliminate the accumulated static electricity.

    If the humidity of the environment is low, and it happens that the resistance of the human body is very large, a lot of electric charges have accumulated, and the body has not been in contact with any object leading to the earth for a long time, then the human body will be obviously electrified. People with high static electricity will feel electric numbness when they directly touch copper beds, steel windows, iron doors and other good conductive objects. When touching another person with little body resistance and good contact with the earth, that person becomes a discharge pathway, and will also feel the discomfort of electric shock.

    In addition to static electricity, the human body also has an induced electric potential. If you use an oscilloscope to measure the surface of the human body, you can see that most people have a 50 Hz alternating current waveform on their body surface. This is because there is an AC power line not far from us, and the AC power on the power line causes an induced electric potential on the human body through the spatial distribution of capacitance.

    When the resistance of the human body is large, the induced potential is high; The resistance of the human body is small, and the induced potential is also weak. This induced electric potential is not harmful to the human body. Even if this potential is very high, it cannot produce a large life-threatening current because of its large internal resistance.

    In short, everyone's body is electrified, but the amount is different. After understanding these truths, you will know that it is normal for people to be electrified, and there is no need to feel strange and scared at all.

    That's static electricity, because the clothes on the body are not pure cotton, and friction produces static electricity, which will be transmitted to others, that is, electricity to others.

    Static electricity on the human body is mainly caused by the friction between clothes or between clothes and the body, so when wearing clothes of different materials, the "electricity" is more or less different, for example, wearing clothes made of chemical fibers is more likely to produce static electricity, while cotton clothes produce less. And because the dry environment is more conducive to the transfer and accumulation of electric charge, people will feel that the static electricity on their bodies is greater in winter.

    This is because friction generates static electricity, while his body is insulated from the earth, and there is a certain voltage between him and the earth. When a hand comes into contact with someone else, an electric discharge occurs.

    It has to do with the dry air and the chemical fiber clothes that people wear.

    Static electricity is there all the time!

    Static electricity caused by dry air. When the human body is active, ** rubs against each other and between clothes and clothes, which will generate static electricity. With the increase of household appliances and people wear more chemical fiber clothes in winter, the electrostatic charge generated by household appliances will be absorbed and accumulated by the human body.

    This situation generally occurs in the autumn and winter when the weather is drier, due to the fact that there is more static electricity in the air, and we are wearingSweaters, cotton clothes, leather clothes and other clothing generate static electricity in frictionWhen we come into contact with each other, the static electricity of different charges collides, which gives us the feeling of "electric shock", of course, this is not emotional "love at first sight", but a real "physical damage" ......

    Autumn and winter are dry, and the human body is prone to static electricity. Many people have this experience in winter: after we put on our sweaters, when we go to bed at night, if we turn off the lights, we can still see electric sparks when we take off our sweaters, and hear the sound of static electricity crackling and releasing them.

    This is due to static electricity. The more essential reason is that after the sweater rubs, static electricity is generated, generally speaking, after the chemical fiber clothing is rubbed by the human body, the human body and the sweater will be positively charged.

    If we rub the hair with a balloon, it will also cause the balloon to have static electricity with the hair, and if we put some scraps of paper near the balloon, it may be firmly absorbed.

    Static electricity in the human body is easy to bring harm, so you need to be careful. People who have used self-service refueling at a gas station may notice that every time they refuel, there is a device that comes into contact to "release static electricity". This device is designed to protect people and cars from being injured when refueling due to gasoline combustion and accidents caused by electric sparks.

    There was a news report that a woman did not operate according to the specifications when she was refueling at the self-service, and as a result, the sweater was instantly lit with a fuel gun, but fortunately, the employees of the gas station found it and extinguished it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

    In some electronic equipment factories, employees need to wear electrostatic protection ropes, which is also to protect the safety of employees and electronic equipment, and avoid equipment failure and human body damage ......caused by electric shockTherefore, although static electricity seems terrible, as long as we pay more attention, we can still avoid the damage caused by static electricity.

    It's a classic phenomenon where static electricity is generated when your fur rubs against your clothes, which is why you get electricity.

    Electrostatics. Because when the weather is dry, the human body and clothes rub, a large amount of static electricity will be generated, and when the static electricity is released instantly when it comes into contact with people, there will be a feeling of being hit by electricity.

    Electrostatic discharge phenomenon. Due to the friction between the person's ** and the clothes on the body, as well as the clothes of different fabrics, the electric charge is generated, and the discharge phenomenon will occur when they are touched together.
