Electrons are added to your body as you shuffle your feet across the room. Then the shock is when they discharge from your body to the doorknob when you touch it.

The correct answer would be (A).

Explanation:

When a person walks on a carpet, they produce such electrons that can ignite electricity. These electrons can then be transferred to the doorknob if it is metal since metal things conduct electricity. Therefore, the correct answer is (A).


Hope this helps!

They cause magnetic storms. A magnetic storm is a fleeting disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere. A magnetic storm is caused by a solar wind shock wave associated with solar coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, or solar flares. It typically strikes the Earth's magnetic field 24 to 36 hours after the event.
