Effects of Static Electricity on Hair

December 22nd 2008 09:10
Static electricity is the build-up of charge on the surface of objects. Using machines such as a Van de Graaff generator, with its hollow metal sphere commonly seen at science discovery centres a large amount of static electricity can be built up on a person. When this occurs, that persons hair becomes charged and as like charges repel each other the hairs all stand on end to get as far away from each other as possible. The results can be quite amusing, as seen in the pictures below.
