What is an example of harmless static electricity?

An example of harmless static electricity is when you touch a metal doorknob and feel a small shock. This is caused by the buildup of static electricity on your body from walking on carpet, and it discharges when you touch a conductor like the doorknob.


Where does electricity get energy?

An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.


What kind of energy do you experience when you get shock from a metal doorknob?

When you get a shock from a metal doorknob, it is an example of static electricity. This occurs when excess electrons build up on your body and discharge when you touch the metal doorknob, creating a sudden flow of electricity.


Example of current electricity?

Electric current is that current which generate from electric voltage . it flows on your induction motors also on your computer and your television set's cord and every where which device is operate by electricity. doesn't matter what instrument you are operating. it will flow.


How is wearing rubber soled shoes an example of electric charge?

It is not. Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity so it does not let an electric current pass through it.


Is high-voltage syndrome an example of static or current electricity?

it is an example of current electricity


Which of these materials would not be a good insulator of electricity?

An example of a good insulator of electricity would be rubber. An insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity and as such offers protection from direct electric current.


Current electricity vs electrical current?

Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.


The spark that jumps to your finger after walking on a rug is an electric?

The spark that jumps to your finger after walking on a rug is an example of static electricity. This occurs when friction between the rug and your shoes causes a build-up of electric charge that discharges when you touch a conductor, like a metal doorknob.


Is arc welding an example of electric current?

No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.


What are some example of current?

One example of current electricity are transmission lines. These bring electricity from power stations to individual houses.


The spark that jumps between the hand and the doorknob is an example of?

Static electricity, honey. It's like when you shuffle your feet on the carpet and then zap your friend with a shock. That spark is caused by a buildup of electrical charge on the surface of the doorknob and your hand, looking for somewhere to release all that pent-up energy. So, be careful next time you go reaching for that door handle, unless you're into a little shock therapy.
