Why do you get shocked touching a door knob?
You get shocked touching a door knob because of the friction between the carpet and the soles of your shoes. By walking across a rug or carpet, your body starts to become negatively charged because of the electrons picked up from the carpet. When you go to touch the door knob, your negative charge repels the electrons on the door knob, making the knob positively charged (the door knob becomes positive because of the exchange of electrons to the hand). Since positives attract negatives, your hand has a shock between the door knob because of the exchange of electrons. The only reason why there is an exchange of electrons is because the door knob is being neutrilized just like your body is releasing that small amount of electrons to make it have no charge.
