This paper presents a study on the development of discharge model and computer program for assessing the risk of electrostatic discharge(ESD) of charged human body. This ESD event is modelled as a two-body problem using spherical conductors, simulating the approach of a charged conductor (human body) to a second conductor (electronic equipment). The charge/discharge process for the model is formulated as a matrix of equations by Maxwell`s method. Body potentials, energies and the charge transfer during a discharge are calculated. The developed program, based on the suggested scheme in this paper, is applied to a sample system. The results provide a better understanding of ESD event and demonstrate the usefulness of two-body model in practical applications.
