What else can I help you with?
Can you die from static shock?
No, you cannot die from static shock. It is usually harmless and only causes a mild discomfort.
What can you infer about any object that give you static shock when you touch it?
its a conductor
When you get zapped by static electricity what is happening?
When you get zapped by static electricity, it means that there is an imbalance of electric charge on your body or on the object you touch. This causes a sudden flow of electrons to even out the charge, resulting in a small but quick electric shock or spark.
What can you infer about any object that gives you a static shock when you touch it?
An object that gives you a static shock likely has an excess buildup of static electricity. This can be due to friction between different materials, causing an imbalance of electrons. The shock occurs when the excess charge is discharged as you touch the object.
Why do people feel shock when they touch some objects?
People feel shock when they touch some objects due to the buildup of static electricity on the surface of those objects. When a person touches these objects, the excess electrons move from the object to the person, resulting in a sudden discharge of static electricity that is felt as a shock.
What causes the shock from static electricity?
basically, static electricity is caused by either having to many electrons or not enough. This is bad for electrons, and they want to find atoms to join up with, so they will "jump" from one object to another to find these atoms. This causes the spark, and therfore the shock

What causes static elecircity?
Usually static electricity is caused by a build up of electrons on the surface of an object
How can one create static electricity through the use of friction?
You generate static electricity when you move one object against another. This movement causes friction, which releases a negative charge. Then you suddenly release these electrons causing a shock, e.g. touching someone.
Why do people feel shock when they touch some objects?
People feel shock when they touch some objects due to the buildup of static electricity on the surface of those objects. When a person touches these objects, the excess electrons move from the object to the person, resulting in a sudden discharge of static electricity that is felt as a shock.
Does the movement of proton causes static electricity?
No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.
Shock that a person gets when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpet is caused by?
The shock is caused by the buildup of static electricity on the person's body as they walk across the carpet. When they touch the metal doorknob, the excess electrons on their body transfer to the knob, creating a sudden discharge of static electricity that is felt as a shock.
Can you give me 1 example of static electricity?
One example of static electricity is when you drag your feet across the floor and then shock someone. The shock is the static electricity.
Why does static electricity happen?
Static electricity is an electric charge, it is created by friction, and causes sparks, and attracts dust or hair example: ....walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The electrons move from you to the knob. You get a shock. because sometimes, as you rub two materials together the tiny, negatively charged electrons move from one material to another.
