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!

The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is _____ the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater. A.less than or greater than, depending on what
just olya [345]
<span>I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.</span>
