All objects are composed of atoms. The electrons contained within the objects' atoms are prone to move or migrate to other objects. If you were to walk across the carpeting towards the door of the room, electrons would likely be scuffed off the atoms of your shoes and moved onto the atoms of the carpet. And as clothes tumble in the dryer, it is highly likely that electrons on one piece of clothing will move from the atoms of the clothing onto the atoms of another piece of clothing. What type of energy occurs when a sock is stuck to a blanket when it is taken out of the dryer? A) current electricity B) static electricity C) heat energy D) high voltage electricity
