| Mar 1, 2019 at 9:42 | comment | added | Hobbes | Instead of a spark flying between your hand and a grounded object, the spark will be between the pen and the grounded object. The current flowing through your body will be divided over a larger area instead of being concentrated in a single point. This works even better if you use an object with a reasonably high electrical resistance rather than a low-resistance conductor. Antistatic wrist straps use a resistor on the order of 100 MOhm, IIRC. | |
