However, I face a summertime hazard:  getting an electric shock when I leave the car.  Sometimes the shock makes me wince as I hear the &#8220;crack&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I researched the reason for these shocks.  Possibly, it&#8217;s mundane:  as my leather belt and even my dry skin rub against the polyester seat, they develop positive charge (the seat, negative).  When I touch the metal door, my positive charge attracts electrons through my fingers &#8211; zap!  In dry weather, the process is emphasized, since there is less water to bleed away static charge.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be talking more about static electricity:)<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.school-for-champions.com\/science\/static_materials.htm#.VzDL54SDGko\">school-for-champions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.physics.org\/article-questions.asp?id=44\">physics.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tutor shares some research about why he gets shocked leaving the car.
