Susceptibility of a Human Body to Electrization. Part 2. Electrostatic Charging of a Human Body

Abstract

Electrostatic charging is the phenomenon of electrostatic charge induction closely related to the structure of a material.
The mechanism of the charges may vary, but always involves the sepatation of the negative and positive charges occurring in the material.
This applies both to the free or connected charges. Charge separation depends on their physical isolation and transfer onto material.
