Warm socks that just came out of the dryer are best for conducting electricity. While most socks can conduct static electricity, wool socks generally work best.
Nylon carpets are generally best for conducting electricity, but most carpets can produce static sparks. [3] X Research source
If you don’t feel a static shock, keep scuffing your socks against the carpet and try again. Ask the other person’s permission before touching them, as not everyone likes static shock.
Even if your electronic device has a protective case, it may still be vulnerable to static shocks.
In this experiment, you have to use a rubber balloon. Metallic balloons will not conduct static electricity when rubbed with wool.
If you don’t have any wool handy, you can rub it against your hair or a sweater/sweatshirt instead.
You can also test the conduction by holding it near your hair. If strands of your hair lift up and touch the balloon, you’ve made static electricity. You can also try to get the air-filled balloon to stick to a nearby wall. (This experiment works better in the wintertime and in non-humid climates). You may want to keep track of the surface against which you previously rubbed the balloon, how many times it was rubbed, and how long the balloon stayed against the wall.
Use caution while handling sharp objects like skewers.
After placing the cup on the pan, the straws should be facing directly upward.
If the thread is too long and does not hang suspended in the air, cut it to size as needed.
