Because of static electricity
Metal has higher thermal conductivity than wood, so it draws heat away from your hand faster, making it feel colder. This means the metal doorknob will feel colder to touch compared to the wooden door at the same temperature.
This is an example of static electricity. When you rub against materials or walk on carpets, you can build up an electric charge. When you touch a metal doorknob, the charge is discharged, creating a small shock.
The shock is caused by a build-up of static electricity on your body as you walk across the carpet. When you touch the metal doorknob, the excess electrons are transferred, resulting in a sudden discharge of static electricity that you feel as a shock.
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.
Static electricity builds up on the soles of your feet, giving you a charge. When you touch the metal, you are earthed, and the charge is removed. This is felt as a static shock. As the material of your shoes/socks brushes against the carpet, friction causes free electrons to move from the carpet into your body. These electrons will accumulate on your body until you discharge them by touching a path to ground. However, this releases energy, which you feel as a shock. This energy is potent enough to be felt, heard, and even seen. This will only happen if your shoes/socks are of the right material and the air is dry. You build up static electricity by walking across the carpet. When you touch metal doorknob, it releases the stored energy. When you drag your feet against carpet you are negatively charged and so the door knob is positively charged so there fore causing an electric shock

An example of electrostatic discharge is the shock you sometimes feel when you touch a metal object after walking on carpet in a dry environment. This occurs when the excess static electricity built up on your body is discharged to the metal conductor.
When you touch a trampoline, you may feel a shock because of the buildup of static electricity on the surface of the trampoline. This static electricity can transfer to your body when you make contact with the trampoline, resulting in a small shock sensation.
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.
The temperature of a door is typically the same as the temperature of the surrounding environment. If the door is metal or glass, it may feel warmer or cooler to the touch depending on the material's ability to conduct heat.
well i wouldn't say you would feel shock,but you can feel like electricity if you touched someone,i tried it and touched my sister,it was funny,but she was mad..lol!!
A static discharge. The friction from walking on the carpet builds up a static charge on your body, and when you touch the metal doorknob, the excess charge is quickly released in the form of a static discharge, creating a shock.
That is commonly referred to as receiving a static shock. It occurs when your body builds up an imbalance of electric charge and discharges when you touch a conductor, like a metal object, providing a path for the charge to flow.
