As a gift, my grandfather bought me Basic Electrical Theory. I have a question about the very first unit and he suggested this forum for the answer. If I am in the wrong area or this forum is not meant for such basic questions, please just direct me to where I might search for the answer. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
My question: Static Voltage: The voltage developed is related to the amount of charge deposited on a body and to the capacitance of this body with respect to its surroundings. What determines how much charge is deposited? How long the contact is or the capacitance of the body or a combination of the two? I'm assuming a smaller object generally holds less than a larger body, depending on what it is made of though?
