💭 Think About

• If two objects are at different electrical potentials, what happens when they get very close but are NOT touching? • What effect does keeping metal parts in firm contact have on static electricity between them? • When fueling a portable can or boat tank, what is your main safety concern: venting, spilling, or sparking?

✅ Before You Answer

• Think about how static sparks are created (gap + different charge). • Consider whether metal-to-metal contact reduces or increases the chance of a spark. • Ask: which option most directly prevents ignition of gasoline vapors, not just improves convenience.
