Electric shocks from everyday objects occur when there is a buildup of static electricity on the surface of the object. When you touch the object, the excess charge is transferred to your body, causing a small electric shock. This commonly happens with items made of insulating materials like carpets, clothes, or plastic.
Yes, insulators help prevent electric shocks by blocking the flow of electricity and maintaining a barrier between the electrical current and people or objects. Materials like rubber, plastic, and glass are commonly used as insulators to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Electric forces are typically only noticeable when dealing with objects that have a strong charge imbalance, such as in the case of static electricity or lightning. In everyday situations, most objects have neutral charges overall, which makes the electric forces between them too weak to be perceptible to our senses.
A negative charge is a property of an object that has an excess of electrons. Objects with a negative charge can repel other negatively charged objects and attract positively charged objects. Negative charges can create static electricity, cause objects to stick together, and produce electric shocks.
Electric forces between objects are typically very weak compared to other forces, such as gravity or friction. Additionally, objects often contain equal numbers of positive and negative charges which cancel each other out, resulting in no net electric force. As a result, the effect of electric forces between everyday objects is usually negligible.
Electric charge is the fundamental property of matter that causes static electricity. When objects have an imbalance of electric charges, they can build up static electricity, which is the accumulation of electric charges on the surface of an object. This buildup of charges can result in static electricity phenomena like sparks or shocks.

Electric shocks are responsible for about 1,000 deaths in the United States each year, or about 1% of all accidental deaths
A negative charge is a property of an object that has an excess of electrons. Objects with a negative charge can repel other negatively charged objects and attract positively charged objects. Negative charges can create static electricity, cause objects to stick together, and produce electric shocks.
