I was just wondering how static electricity has a high voltage. Is it because of the difference of charge between the two objects e.g you and the ground?
Or is it due to the electric field which surrounds an static charged object, so the electric field cause ions to build in the air allowing the charge to travel across to an object of opposite charge, i.e the longer the electric field is allowed to create ions the more voltage?
