Static electricity generated by the friction of sweaters is not easily transmitted to the air. Moreover, the moisture content in the sweater fiber is also low, and the material of the sweater itself is easily charged by friction, so it has become one of the clothes with the most obvious static phenomenon.

The friction between the body and the sweater or the friction between the sweater and other clothes will lead to the accumulation of static electricity, which will be released to a certain extent, especially when undressing.

The electrostatic elimination method is as follows:

1. If possible, it's best to change clothes after finding static electricity. This is the best way to eliminate static electricity.

2. Wipe the clothes with a clean wet towel to remove static electricity from the clothes. You can also spray some water mist with a small sprayer, which is more convenient and faster than wiping.

3. You can also lean your clothes against a metal object connected to the earth, so that static electricity can be conducted to the earth through the metal object, such as a metal door.

The cause of static electricity

Static electricity is formed by the redistribution of charges caused by friction and the mutual attraction of charges. Generally speaking, the positive charge of the nucleus is equal to the negative charge of the electron, so it does not show electricity.

However, if the electrons are out of orbit by external force, the distribution of electrons is unbalanced. For example, triboelectrification is essentially a process that causes the imbalance of positive and negative charges. When two different objects touch and rub against each other, the electrons of one object are transferred to the other object, which is positively charged due to the lack of electrons, while the other object gets some residual electrons and is negatively charged, which is electrostatic.
