I am getting sparks when I rub finger tips on woollen blankets when seen in dark.Why?

Answer 1

Hi !!!

That is called "STATIC ENERGY". this is everywhere but some materials are better conductors, of it.

It is a very quick and sudden electric shock, experience and it doesn't harm anyone. Although if the person has a large means of conduction, as wearing a wool coat and touching a metal door handle, this electric shock, will be felt a bit stronger.

We can find static energy, on our hair, some products, that attached to the clothes, and in the air.

The reason is because there are molecules, which holds positive and negative energy, and this serve as a magnet, to electricity!! (TO MAKE IT SIMPLE)

Other than being annoying, you have nothing to worry about.
GOD BLESS YOU & HAPPY LIFE

You have witnessed a phenomenon called static electricity.
usually on dry wintry days when you vigorously
rub your hands/fingers onto a woollen blanket you create what is called static electricity.
the generation of this static electric charge is made evident/visible usually by making a crackling sound, also by making your hair to stand on their ends & sometimes by a brief sparking on the rubbed surface.
