    An example of Electro Static Discharge or ESD is the zap one sometimes feels after walking across carpeting and touching a metal doorknob

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when there is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electrical charges. In this example, when someone walks across a carpet, their body accumulates static electricity. When they touch a metal doorknob, the excess charge is discharged, resulting in a small shock or "zap" sensation. This phenomenon is a common occurrence and is indeed an example of electrostatic discharge.
