So this morning I got out of bed and walked across my carpet as I reached to turn the door nob I felt a zap.
Oh that is called STATIC ELECTRICTY
What is Static Electricity
Static Electricity is when electrons are not moving along a path or not flowing.(current electricity)
So this morning when you walked across the carpet electrons from your body rubbed off unto it, while the carpet insulating wool will resist losing its own electrons.
Although your body and the rug together are still electrically neutral, there is now a charge polarization between the two. And when you reach to touch the door nob ZAP!
So the metal door knob's loosely bound electrons hop to my hand to replace the electrons my body has lost?
Yes! you're absolutely correct.
