Where Is It?> Does my skin look a bright, healthy yellow to you? If not, your computer screen may be dusty. Where did all that dust come from? When turned on, computer screens become charged with static electricity. The electricity attracts dust in the air.
Where else do you see static electricity? Try combing your hair a lot on a dry, cool day - that’s a great way to charge up your hair and make it stand up. Or put on a shirt just out of the dryer - did the shirt have a charged sock hitch-hiking a ride?
Pet a hairy house cat on a dry day. Feel some tiny sparks? If so, the cat is charged with electricity. The charges are attracted to your hand.
Shuffle across a wool carpet. Then touch a metal doorknob. Feel a shock? Rubbing your feet on wool charges up your body. The charges jump to the doorknob, creating a shock.
