My body get shock when I touch the mettalic gate after getting down from my car orafter sitting on plastic cha

Answer 1

because of static electricity

Answer 2

Well, as many have said before, you are experiencing static electricity. You are most likely developing it from the friction between your pants/shirt against your chair. There probably isn't a whole lot you can do to prevent that from happening (you could attach yourself to a grounding point, but how would you move around?).
Something i have figured out is to use something metallic to take the zap of discharge. I usually use my car key and as i approach something i know can give me a zap i touch it with my key while i hold the metal part of the key also. This makes the arcing happen between the key and the other item. You won't feel a thing as long as your fingers are far enough back on the key.

Answer 3

In very dry weather conditions, i.e. when water vapour in the atmosphere is relatively low, your body is likely to accumulate what is known as static electricity by being in contact with such objects as plastics, rubber or other non-conducting materials. When after some while you touch a conducting material like a metalic object, the accumulated electric charge discharges from your body, and that is when you become aware by getting sometimes quite a nasty shock. The remedy may be to do as one answerer has suggested by touching a conductor with your elbow or back of your hand in order to discharge the electricity painlessly, if you remember to do so. Most of the time, you may not be aware that you have accumulated charge, until you feel the shock, but if you make it a habit to first "discharge yourself" as suggested above, the discomfort will be less.

Answer 4

There are two sorts of electrical charge-positive (+) and negative (-) charged. .the building blocks of matter the electrons, protons and neutrons that make up atoms can be positively charged. when electrons move along a wire (or conductor) we call it an electrical charge. When electrons are rubbed off from one material to another leaving one with an overall negative charge the other with a positive charge we call that "static electricity".
If nothing else is available, touch a grounded metal object once in a while to remove any charge from your body. Touching a water tap works extremely well, as does
touching a corner of a wall where there is metal stripping under
the plaster. By touching the water tap
with your elbow first and it won't be too shocking then
washing your hands with warm water can discharge the static electricity.

Answer 5

A doctor once told me that if you have no way to get rid of the static potential in your system other than "zapping" something, then "zap" it with preferably your elbow or the back of your hand. Why? Fewer nerves at those places compared with the inside of your hand or fingertips and it won't feel so "shocking".

Answer 6

It seems to have mixed up your letters, either don't touch the gate or don't sit on the plastic cha

Answer 7

it might take a while to make this a habit, but before you touch something that usually shocks you, rub your hand on your pants, it will dissipate the static electricity...usually

Answer 8

no frickin way!!! lol
