Materials rubbed against each other create static electricity. By rubbing your feet across carpet while wearing socks, it generates static electricity. Your body stores this until you touch something to release it, which can be anything from a door handle to a person.

∙ 12y agoyour body has to build up a static charge. this charge can be accumulated through friction with things. the charge is released when you touch metallic objects or a grounded object or, in your case, a person. You can also accumulate that charge using an electronic device called a negative ion generator, like a Van De Graaf generator, voltage multiplier, flyback transformer etc. Here's a tutorial on how to shock people with your fingertips using a small electronic device: http://fear-of-lightning.wonderhowto.com/blog/master-power-shock-people-with-your-fingertips-0133360/

What is an after shock?
a after shock is what happens after a earthquake
What is a main shock?
A main shock is the largest earthquake in a sequence.
What makes the flash of a lightning strike larger than that of a carpet shock?
A lightning shock is bigger than a carpet shock because a lightning shock has bigger and more severe energy.
How many fingers does a bat have?
Bats typically have five elongated fingers on each hand, which are used to support the structure of their wings.
What are the vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake?
after shock :)
Does people have fingers?
yes people do have fingers
Do people have 56 fingers?
No, people do not have 56 fingers.
What type of shock comes from touching people?
Static shock si the kind of shock you get from touching other people.
Why does your fingers shake after a broken wrist?
its most likely because your body has gone into shock, and since your fingers are the closest joints to the injury they react as well :) completely normal

How many people get a shock each year?
That depends on what sort of shock you are asking about. A shock can be an electric shock, or a surprise. In the US, more than 1000 people die each year from electrical shock, out of as many as 500,000 serious injuries from electrical shock.
How many people have died from shock?
Shock itself is not usually a direct cause of death, but rather a state where the body's organs are not receiving enough blood flow or oxygen. It is often a complication of other medical conditions or injuries. The number of deaths specifically attributed to shock can vary depending on the underlying cause and individual circumstances.
What are the four laws of electrostatics?
Coulomb's Law: states that the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Electric Field Lines: represent the direction in which a positive test charge would move if placed in the electric field around a charged object. Gauss's Law: relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed by that surface. Electric Potential: the amount of work needed to move a unit positive charge from infinity to a specific point in the electric field.
Why do people get an electrical shock?
Most people get an electric shock because of their own carelessness when handling electrical equipment.
How many fingers are people supposed have?
People should have ten fingers, five on each hand, including thumbs.
Who is six fingers in the red scarf girl?
