Go to the following: httr://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/john-travoltagg and click Play! 1) Drag John Travoltage's FOOT across the carpet. Describe what happens! 2) a) Why does carpet tend to produce differences in static electricity more than hardwood or tile floors (think!)? b) Why do you sometimes feel a shock when you touch metallic objects (like the doorknob)? 3) Why doesn't John Travoltage get a shock if he touches the doorknob without rubbing his foot on the carpet? 4) Observe which direction the spark travels when John Travoltage's finger comes close to the metal doorknob. a) Draw a diagram of his finger and the doorknob below. b) Label the CHARGES (positive, negative, neutral) of both objects and show the direction the spark is traveling! 5) Think about one time you clearly remember experiencing a static electric shock, What must have caused the build up of charges to occur? Which way did the spark travel in your example when you felt a shock? Draw a diagram below that clearly shows the build up of charge in all objects involved and shows the way the spark traveled: Go to the following: httr://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/john-travoltagg and click Play! 1) Drag John Travoltage's FOOT across the carpet.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

1 When John travoltage drag his foot across the carpet then he gains large number of negative charges ie electron 2 carpet tend to produce differences in static electricity more than hardwood or tile floors because the fibers in the carpet are more willing to let go of electrons because they want to be positively charged As seen in the lab activity when we rub our foot we have extra electron in our body and When we touch any metallic object like doorknob which has a positive charge ...
