What causes electric charge to build up in petrol tanker?
Electric charge can build up in a petrol tanker due to friction between the flowing liquid and the tanker walls, creating a separation of charges. This can be exacerbated by the movement of the liquid, leading to a transfer of electrons and the accumulation of charge on the tanker surface. Factors like temperature, humidity, and the type of materials involved can also impact the buildup of electric charge.
