Static electricity is something we frequently encounter during the late autumn and winter
months. It has been blamed for some dramatic failures such as the Hindenburg disaster
and some minor difficulties. In some situations, we have methods of avoiding it, while in
other contexts there are no precautionary measures. In this discussion, you should explore
static electricity, the ramifications of it on devices and systems, and the mitigation
techniques that are sometimes used.Consider the followingIn what contexts does static
electricity occur? In what contexts is it a problem? In what contexts might it not even be
noticed?What techniques can be used to avoid static electricity or mitigate the problems? In
what settings are these used?Are there mitigation techniques that seem like they should be
used more widely and why?As you are considering this, you might also share ideas about
the most surprising ways that static electricity builds up.
