We’ve all had the experience: you’re walking across a soft carpet, you reach for the doorknob and … ZAP. But what causes this trademark jolt of static electricity? Anuradha Bhagwat sheds light on the phenomenon by examining the nature of matter.

It's amazing how a three Minute Video explains this better than a Physics teacher in 10 periods

It has been 7 yrs since this video was posted and still the quality of the content is unmatchable .The most interesting and unique way of teaching physics..... . Had such videos be made for each concept , everyone would have truly loved physics. Such videos should be presented before the children in classrooms so that they can " feel the physics in everyday life " . Those who agree with me can like

A few years ago, I will pulling a blanket out; the room was completely dark. For a few seconds, I not only heard a bit of static electricity but I could also see some tiny, glow in the dark blue lines on my arm from the static I got from the fleece blanket. It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen.

Fun fact: Most static shocks are around 10,000 volts. Compared to your home outlets which are 120 volts. The difference is there is a much smaller supply of electrons from the shock (amperage) so they don't do any damage.

I can never forget what happened two weeks ago. My arm rubbed against the table in class and I could clearly hear the electric spark sound and got a terrible shock when I accidentally touched the screw of the table. I can never forget the pain. If you know any tips on how to prevent such a thing from happening again please share them. I would greatly appreciate tips to avoid static electric shocks

Must study for test! But Ted-Ed videos are so much more interesting. Don't have to strength/discipline to close all these tabs.  Oh well, Looks like I'm staying up tonight.

I liked how they illustrated the lightning coming from the negatively charged objects (ground, metal, cloud) to the positively charged cloud. Demonstrating the natural flow of electricity, instead of the conventional illustration used for showing the flow of electricity.

This is an absolutely wonderful explanation. I'm finally beginning to grasp what electricity really is. Thank you so much

People always talk abt the animation, but this Pink Panther aesthetic is so beautiful, and yet familiar and nostalgic in some ways that I can't let it go by without praising. Congratulations
