Dear all,
I would like to ask you to explain me this question on physical (chemical) level.
Question is:
Why static electrical charge is moving when I press and move my hand on rug and then catch a piece of iron, which is not gorunded?
According to my knowledge, iron atoms had not strong binding energy between core and electrons on valence layer and so iron should not catch any negative or possitive charge from my hand.
MY explanation is, that when I press and move my hand on rub, my surface atoms on skin is losing negative charge and then when I catch a piece of iron my hand is catching electrons from iron.
Please, reply your explanations and opinion.
Thanks
