electric forces can act at a distance.

When Jim walked across the carpeted floor, his body gained electrons from the carpet. The presence of these electrons generated a force between his finger and the doorknob. Since he did not need to actually touch the doorknob for the electrons to be pulled from his finger, this demonstrates that electric forces can act at a distance.
