Question
- what type of electron transfer occurs when you rub your feet on carpet? conduction static electricity induction friction
Brief Explanations
When you rub your feet on carpet, electrons are transferred due to friction between your feet (or shoes) and the carpet fibers. Conduction is direct contact electron transfer between conductors. Static electricity is the build - up of electric charge (not a transfer mechanism). Induction is charge separation without direct contact. Friction (triboelectric effect) is the process of electron transfer through rubbing.
