One way you could conduct a static shock is by drying your clothes. Once you have finished drying, rub the clothes on your body and touch something metal. Whenever clothes come out of the dryer, all the electrons in the other clothes stick to certain clothes.

∙ 11y agoWear shoes with rubber soles to hold the charge in your body. Shuffle your feet across a wool rug for about ten shuffles. At this point your body will be charged to a higher potential than that of the surrounding things in the room around you. Touching a conductive material around you, your conductive charge will discharge until you are at the same zero potential as the room around you. Look for a spark when you discharge as static potentials can get to very high voltages. Lightning is a static discharge.

Where is static electricity used in your everyday life?

Why might a glass survive a fall on the carpet but not on a concrete floor?
The carpet is made of material that spreads the shock across the surface area of a greater distance than concrete. Concrete is more dense than carpet making it susceptible.
How can you avoid getting a shock from static electricity when you touch a metal doorknob?
I hate them too.When the humidity is low, static charge will build up no matter how hard you try to avoid it. The only thing I have found is to touch metal object with something else before touching my hand.
What is static elecricity?

Electric discharge, is the word that makes this statement.
What causes you to be shock when you walk across a carpet?

How can static electricity be produced?
walk across a carpet and drag your feet in your socks and touch metal and you will produce static electricity and get a shock.
Shock that a person gets when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpet is caused by?
static electricity (kinitic)
How can static electricity produced?

How does rubbing your feet on the carpet allow you to shock someone?
static the and ya da ya da ya
Why do you get an electic shock if you touch a doorknob after walking across a carpet?
You get an electric shock if you touch a doorknob after walking on carpet because of built up of extra electrons transferred from the carpet to your feet and then body. The electrons stay built up on you until you touch something that they can discharge on, in this case a doorknob.
How can electrity be produced?
walk across a carpet and drag your feet in your socks and touch metal and you will produce static electricity and get a shock.
What is charge on our body?
I assume that 'charge' refers to the build up of static electricity. Walk across a nylon carpet and touch someone, and a spark of static electricity will give both of you a shock.
Where are you most liking to Build up enough static charge to receive a shock?
On a nylon carpet in a dry areaIn a carpeted restaurant in the desertWalking on carpet during the dry winter months
Where are you most likely to build up enough static charge to receive a shock?
On a nylon carpet in a dry areaIn a carpeted restaurant in the desertWalking on carpet during the dry winter months
What is the duration of Static Shock?
The duration of Static Shock is 1320.0 seconds.
