Explain the process of walking across a carpet and reaching out to touch a door knob would give you a shock use the vocabulary friction attract static charge and electrical, potential energy and static discharge explain in 2 to 3 senses
When you walk across a carpet, friction between your feet and the carpet creates a build-up of static charge on your body. This is because the movement of your feet on the carpet causes the transfer of electrons from the carpet to your body, giving you a negative charge.
As you reach out to touch a door knob, which is typically made of metal, the metal knob can become positively charged through a process called induction. The negative charge on your body is attracted to the positively charged knob, creating a potential difference, or electrical potential energy, between your body and the knob.
When you touch the knob, a static discharge occurs as the built-up charge on your body is transferred to the knob. This transfer of charge results in a sudden release of electrical energy, manifesting as the shock you feel. This shock is caused by the rapid flow of electrons between your body and the metal knob, equalizing the charge between the two.
