Hey, Guys, Yesterday I went to a restaurant,
And I went to wash my hands
when I touch the tap I got an electric shock,

I also faced the same thing in other restaurants.
What is the reason beyond this?
Well, let me explain.
It is nothing but static shock
Static shock is more common in dry weather
because humidity helps to dissipate electric charges.
In dry air, there is less moisture to conduct electricity,
which can lead to the buildup of static electricity on surfaces and objects.
shock occurs when there is a sudden flow of electric charge
between two objects with different electric potentials,
when one object (water tape) is charged with static electricity
and comes in contact with another object (your hand),
causing the charge to transfer and you get an electric shock.
To avoid this Wear natural fiber clothing,
Use a humidifier or Keep your hands dry.
That’s All
Thanks for watching
