Ruby rubs her socks along the woolen carpet as she walks across her house. She grabs onto a metal doorknob. What will most likely happen as she touches the door knob?

The correct answer is: She will get a light shock

When Ruby touches the doorknob as the electrons from her body travel to the protons of the metal doorknob, she feels the light shock.

• When any metals get in contact with electrons, the electrons jump to the metals that have more protons.
• The doorknob will be having more electrons.
• When Ruby touches the doorknob, the electrons in her body travel to the metal doorknob.
• Due to this movement, she felt a slight shock.
