Answer: Electrons jump from you to the handle.

Explanation: By walking on carpet, friction causes the rubber in your shoes to pick up electrons and then when you touch a metal doorknob you will feel a shock as the <u>electrons jump from your body into the doorknob.</u>

Answer: Electrons from the door handle jump onto you.

→ Remember, only electrons can be shared, so there is no way protons nor neutrons could "jump" onto you.


Why exactly does this happen?

When you walk through the carpet, you get charged, because of the friction  caused by your shoes while walking. So, when you get charged, the electrons on the door handle interact with you.



Hope it helped,

How pollution from burning fossil fuels in vehicles can be reduced
Drupady [299]

Explanation:

Incinerators are not helpful in reducing pollution as they produce a lot of ash and smoke so it increases the air pollution by burning of waste.

Solar and wind energy are the clean source of energies replacing the fuels. Catalytic converters reduce the air pollution from the exhaust fumes of vehicles.
