Your feet get electrons from the carpet which produces static electricity. If you touch someone afterwards, you will most likely shock them.

The kind of electricity you create by rubbing a balloon on your head?

Rubbing a balloon on your head can produce static electricity. This can also be accomplished by shuffling your feet across a carpet, when the humidity is very low. Another method that is used in science classes is the rubbing of a glass rod against a silk cloth. This allows the transfer of electrons to the rod. Another method is the use of a Van de Graaff generator, or a Whimshurst machine.

What is natural electricity?

all electricity is natural, due to the fact that electricity is a force of nature. you may be referring to "voltage" which is the difference of charge we sometimes create in order to get work out of electricity, a "synthetic" example would be the 110V at an outlet i suppose, while a natural example would be lightning, or the shock you get from touching a door knob after dragging your feet on carpet.


What has more friction lino or carpet?

Carpet typically has more friction than linoleum because of its thicker and softer texture. The fibers in carpet create more resistance when objects or feet move across its surface, resulting in more friction compared to the smooth texture of linoleum.
