Homework Statement
13) A large metallic sphere insulated from ground is charged
with an electrostatic generator while a student standing on
an insulating stool holds the sphere. Why is it safe to do
this? Why would it not be safe for another person to touch
the sphere after it had been charged?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that the insolater will stop the current to flow for the first part of the question, but why if the person touches the sphere after charching is not safe??
is it because the body acts as a conductor? so the current will flow??
Please help as fast as possible
regards, Blackice
