Title: Static Electricity Shock

Static Electricity Shock
When you shuffle your feet across a carpet, your
body becomes charged. The effect of this charge
is that your entire body represents a voltage
potential. When you touch a metal doorknob, a
voltage difference is created between you and the
doorknob, and current flows. The conduction
material is air, not your body! If the model of
the space between your hand and the doorknob is a
1M? resistance, what voltage potential exists
between your hand and the doorknob if the current
causing the mild shock is 3 mA?
