Question

When you walk across a carpet (in wool socks especially) you will transfer electrons from the carpet to your socks. These electrons spread out over the surface of your body, so now you have a net negative charge. Then when you touch the door knob, you ________ from the static electricity you generated.

• A. Feel warm
• B. Feel cold
• C. Feel wet
• D. Feel shock

Answer 1

The correct option is D Feel shock

Since the door knob is made up of a conductor, hence when you touch it, the electrons from you get transferred to the door knob and your body feels an electric shock.
