Has anyone come accross the following phenomenon and if so what is your take on it.
There is a metal plate being fed by a hv arrangement. Its behaviour seems to vary. On one occasion when the plate is touched you dont feel an electric shock where you touch it but instead half way up the fingure. Also the electric shock does not feel normal it just sought of appears in the knuckle. no current
Another phenomenon is that the plate has increased friction on its surface. That is you place your fingure on the metal plate and then move it and it resists a little. Its like the metal plate is covered in dipoles.
You place a small piece of paper on the metal plate and initially it moves freely. However you give it a few little jiggles lthe piece of paper does not want to move as easily. Its not static electricity i dont think anyway.
