A concert is an electrical phenomenon

In public performances applaud to download an accumulation of energy (anxiety) caused by the situation.

An electric heater is an "accumulator or set of various electric accumulators" (1).

However, the full definition of the term "battery" is more extensive, means many things, but all similar.

For example, "Set artillery ready to fire," "Body of percussion instruments in a band or orchestra," "Which makes big impression on the mind."

Now I wonder why we applaud. What's that slam against the other hand, generally collectively, like a contagion similar to yawn?

Usually it is said that the applause is a way to reward who does something rewarding for applauding (speech, sight, feat).

The same dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (DRAE), says, with his unfailing sense of humor: "clap in approval or enthusiasm" (2).

While I can not deny that there is some truth in this interpretation of our passing rates or enthusiastic clapping, I would add something else to understand why we do something so out of place, it seems ridiculous not only because we are used to seeing.

My hypothesis is that a singer (for example), we produced a physical effect of electro-magnetic order. His art, his voice, orchestra, lighting effects, loaded our body as if it were a power accumulator (battery, battery).

In this phenomenon is a factor which is the buildup of joy, excitement, satisfaction, admiration, delight, many others, which reinforces the cumulative effect on our bodies.

Every so often, for example, each time a song ends, welcome to discharge excess energy (anxiety) accumulated during the singer's performance. If we feel bad aplaudiéramos.

In short: a concert is an electrical phenomenon.
