A person can get an electric shock when they walk across a room on a rug and touch a doorknob because electrons are transferred between their body and the carpet, so they have an electric charge. The shock happens when electrons jump between their body and the doorknob. Question 3 options: True False.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When you touch a doorknob (or something else made of metal), which has a positive charge with few electrons, the extra electrons want to jump from you to the knob. That tiny shock you feel is a result of the quick movement of these electrons.
