Ionized air



It is easy to understand why object discharge rapidly in
ionized air, for example, above the flame of a match.
Surfaces attract opposite charges and become neutral.

But how do we explain the effect of humidity? Is
humid air (air with molecules and droplets of water)
more ionized than dry air? Why is so?
