In order to make a current flow, there's always a source of power. It may be a battery or some other
"power supply". For every electron that comes out of one terminal of the power supply, an electron
goes into the other terminal.

Why do you get zapped when you rub your feet on carpet?

You get zapped when you rub your feet on the carpet, because of electrostatic discharge. When you are rubbing your feet on the floor, the atoms on the floor have electrons that get stripped off of them and get put onto your body. When you have extra electrons sitting on your body that want to get off and you go to touch some sort of conductive surface, the extra electrons transfer, causing you to get zapped.


What discharges static electricity?

A static charge is just an excess (or lack) of electrons from the surface atoms of a substance, always a non-conductor. The discharge occurs when the "free" electrons find a low resistance path to ground.


Describe why a charged electroscope will discharge when placed near a radioactive material?

1. Electroscopes can be used to detect electronic charges and when a electroscope is given negative charges they repel each other and spread apart. They will remain apart until their electrons have somewhere to go and it combines with positive charges. When nuclear radiation is moving through the air it can remove electrons from some molecules In the air and cause other molecules in the air to gain electrons. - B0N3S


HOW DO YOU DISCHARGE ELECTRICITY?

If you touch the charged item to the ground, the charge will go into the ground. This is because static electricity is caused by either having too many or not enough elecrons. When toughed to the ground, the item will either get rid of the electrons or pick more up, making it neutral.
