If the carpet is synthetic you can build up a static charge as electrons are rubbed off the carpet. This works particularly well on cool dry days. You can get rid of the charge build up by washing your hands, touching a large metal object like a railing or by touching your friend, you will see a small blue spark as the charge discharges. (You will also see your friend jump.)
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a scrape and a rub?
A scrape is in the ground with their feet, and a rub is on a tree with their antlers
What happens if you rub grease on paper?
The paper becomes semi-transparent.
What happens if you rub sandpaper on your nipples?
It will just hurt a lot, so I advise you not to do that.
What happens when you rub wool and amber together and why?
Nothing happens. I have amber and wear it with wool and other clothing. At the very most there is friction.
If walking on a carpet with socks what will reduce the charge build up?
Don't drag your feet
Why do you get a shock when you rub your feet against a carpet?
Friction causes it.
When you rub your feet across a carpet your feet gain a negative charge why?
Rubbing your feet on a carpet causes friction, which transfers electrons from the carpet to your feet. This electron transfer leaves your feet with a surplus of electrons, giving them a negative charge.
How do you make static?
rub your feet on shag carpet while waring socks
If you rub your feet on a rug what happens?
The rubbing causes electrons to be transferred.
What happens if you rub your feet on the carpet and stand still?
Rubbing your feet on the carpet can generate static electricity on your body. When you stand still, this built-up static charge can discharge suddenly, resulting in a small electric shock when you touch a metal object or another person.
How do you electric someone?
rub your feet on a carpet with socks or slippers on, you have to really move your feet. it really works, i shocked my sister so badly she was knocked out for 3 min. :D
How do i give an electric shock by dragging your feet across the carpet?

How do you give someone an electric shock?
either rub your feet on carpet really fast and then touch someone or rub a balloon to your hair alot and then touch someone. i like the balloon idea better, it works.
What are you stealing when you rub your socks on the carpet?
Electircity and Fibers
How can elecricity made?
Electricity can be made through a generator. Or you can rub your feet across the carpet and make static electricity. There are many other ways that you can make electricity.
What happens when you drag your feet across the carpet?
Dragging your feet across carpet can create a buildup of static electricity on your body. This static charge can discharge when you touch a conductive surface, resulting in a small shock or spark.
What happens when you rub a sock on the carpet?
Rubbing a sock on the carpet can create a build-up of static electricity on the sock. This happens because the friction between the sock and the carpet causes the transfer of electrons, leaving the sock with a negative charge. This can lead to the sock sticking to other surfaces or giving a mild electric shock when touched.
