Why can metal rods not be charged by holding them in hands?
(N/A) Metal rods are conductors of electricity. When you hold a metal rod with your bare hands,the charge induced on the rod flows through your body to the ground because the human body is also a conductor. Since the charge is continuously grounded,it cannot accumulate on the rod,making it impossible to charge the rod by holding it directly.
