9. If you were wearing the sweater shown and rubbed your hand on it, you too would gain some negative charge on your hand. Then when you directly touch a metal conductor, like a door knob, you will feel a shock. This is called Conduction. From this scenario, where does the negative charge go when you touch a door knob?
When you touch a metal conductor like a doorknob, the negative charge that you gained from rubbing your hand on the sweater flows from your hand into the doorknob. The metal conductor acts as a pathway for the movement of electric charges, allowing the excess negative charge to transfer from your hand to the doorknob. This transfer of charge equalizes the charges between your hand and the doorknob and results in the sensation of a shock.
