← HistoryWithin early Byzantine silk mills, which consequence occurred with decreased humidity?
A)Increased static electricity✓
B)Reduced fiber breakage
C)Lubrication oil oxidation
D)Warp yarn shrinkage decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased charge build-up occurs because reduced humidity lowers the air's dielectric constant, facilitating electrostatic induction; therefore, static electricity drastically rises, rather than decreased fiber breakage as tension control diminishes at low moisture.
