FC0-U41 Question #257: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• AWear silken clothes.
• BDo not wear wrist strap.
• CRemove carpets from computer rooms.
• DWear cotton clothes.
• EIncrease humidity level.

Explanation

In order to reduce the chances of static charges being built up, users or technicians will have to take the following steps: Wear cotton clothes. This will reduce the chance of building up of static charges. Do not cover the computer room's floor with carpets. This stops neutralizing of static charges. Increase humidity level. Humidity helps dissipate static charges. ESD stands for Electrostatic discharge. The static electricity that we generate everyday creates ESD. If you walk across a carpet and touch someone, you experience a mild shock. Electrostatic discharge occurs when the electrostatic charge is transferred from one charged entity to another entity sensitive to that charge. To minimize Electrostatic discharge (ESD) problems, consider wearing a wrist strap when you are working with computer components. A wrist strap is a wire with a watchband-style strap at one end and a plug or clip on the other end. The wrist strap plug or clip is connected to the ground or to the piece of equipment being worked on. Answer option A is incorrect. A technician should not wear silken clothes during computer servicing, as silken clothes are more likely to generate static charges than cotton clothes. Answer option B is incorrect. Wearing wrist strap will keep a technician grounded. Hence, static charges cannot build up.
