Understanding the Science Behind a Faraday Cage
19:25 - 23:54 (04:28)
The Faraday cage is a conductor that distributes electrostatic charge just to the outside of it, thereby canceling out the electric effects generated inside the conductor, making it an essential safety measure that protects people from shocks or electrocution.
