Question:

Why when people touch tv's antennas.???

When people touch antennas (tv's or radios') they improove their frequency????I mean when we watch tv and then we touch its antenna,we can see more clear this channel.??????Is it because people are quot;chargedquot;????

Answer:

The TV station transmitter sets up tiny electrical currents in your antennaYou TV detects these currents, amplifies them then converts them into sound and picturesThe stronger the currents in your antenna, usually the better the pictureThe amount of current induced on your antenna depends on, among other things, the physical size of the antennaWhen you get get close to the antenna, the size of the antenna changes, which changes the currents, which change the TV pictureIf the picture gets better, then the antenna was not perfect for the channel you are watchingIf antenna were in the perfect size, position, etc., then touching the antenna would only make the picture worseI have seen people use aluminum foil or wire coat hangers to get a better pictureAll these have the same principle.
