Why You Sometimes Shock Someone But Don’t Feel It Yourself

Electricity always takes the path of least resistance.

Depending on:

  • Who is more charged
  • Who is better grounded
  • Contact point

One person may feel the shock more than the other.


Why Hair Sometimes Stands Up

Static electricity can cause hair strands to repel each other.

When hair gains the same charge:

  • Strands push away from each other
  • Hair appears frizzy or stands on end

This is the same principle that causes shocks.
