Is my monitor gonna explode in my face?

Oooh, a capacitor! I'll accidently touch this end... and then accidentally touch this end, and then get a spatula to scrape myself off the wall!

Dannywilson wrote:You don't actually need to touch both ends, either will do, because electricity doesn't care how it gets to the ground, and you make an especially good conduit for that purpose. Most people think of AC acting as would a DC battery, where they would have to touch both ends (Think putting a 9V batteries terminals to your tongue), but in fact, all AC is looking to do (in most applications anyaways) is get to the largest dispersion body around, that being the rather large planet beneath your feet.
