Question

Suppose you walk across a carpet. You touch an object and get a shock. The object you touched is most likely a(n). Electric cell,dry cell, conductor, or insulator

Answer 1

C) Conductor

Step-by-step explanation

For you to get an electric shock through a material on a carpet, it is due to static electricity built up on the material.

The amount of shock received depends on the amount of charges going out of the material (due to static electricity).

This charge is greatest in a conductor, and hence the object most likely touches on the carpet is a conductor.

The answer is option C.
