Static shock is the result of the redistribution of electric charges between different materials. While relatively harmless, static shocks can be annoying and even painful. Luckily there are a variety of methods you can use to reduce your likelihood of experiencing static shock.
静电是电荷在不同材料之间再分配的结果。虽然相对无害,但静电可能会给人带来不快与痛感。所幸的是,你可以使用各式各样的方法来减少遭受静电的可能性。
Changing your wardrobe
更换衣物
A
Static electricity is generated whenever two materials come into contact with one another. Oftentimes, footwear scraping across fabrics and other surfaces generates electric shock. People tend to build up electrostatic charge when they walk around, but certain types of shoes can reduce the risk of shock.
当两种材料相互接触时,便会产生静电。通常情况下,鞋在不同质地的织物以及其他表面刮擦,便会产生静电。静电荷会随着人们的走动而增加,不过有几类鞋可以减少静电的风险。
Rubber is a powerful insulator. But if you have carpeted floors, or work in a carpeted office, wearing rubber-soled shoes greatly increases your chance of experiencing static shock. Opt for leather-soled shoes instead.
橡胶是高效的绝缘体。但如果你家里的地面铺着地毯,或者公司办公室铺着地毯,那么穿橡胶底的鞋子将大大增加你遭受静电的可能性。因此,你应该选择穿皮革底的鞋子。
Wool is also a good conductor, and can rub against fabrics to generate static charge. Try going for cotton socks over wool socks.
羊毛也是良导体,可以通过与不同质地的织物摩擦产生静电荷。因此,应该尝试穿棉袜而不是羊毛袜。
B
Be careful about fabrics. Certain fabrics are better at conducting electricity than others and should be avoided.
当心不同质地的织物。应该避免使用某些导电性良好的织品。
Synthetic fabrics, like polyester, conduct electricity well. Limiting the use of such materials in your personal wardrobe can reduce risk of static shock.
涤纶等合成纤维的导电性良好。因此,在个人衣橱中应尽量减少使用此类材料,从而减少静电风险。
Wool sweaters and wool clothing in general, tend to produce a more static shock. Opt for cotton when possible.
通常,羊毛衫与羊毛制衣物往往更容易产生静电,因此尽可能的穿棉质衣物。
C
Invest in anti-static wristbands. Some companies sell wristbands you can wear to reduce your risk of static shock. If altering your clothing and footwear does not work, this might be a wise investment.
购买抗静电腕带。你可以佩戴某些公司售卖的腕带,从而减少静电风险。如果更换衣物鞋类不起作用,那这可能是笔明智的投资。
