We’ve all had the experience: you’re walking across a soft carpet, you reach for the doorknob and … ZAP. But what causes this trademark jolt of static electricity? Anuradha Bhagwat sheds light on the phenomenon by examining the nature of matter.
Lesson by Anuradha Bhagwat, animation by Artrake Studio.
It's amazing how a three Minute Video explains this better than a Physics teacher in 10 periods

@@ronnietabones7395 what??
Maybe physics teacher wants to be expert but not really explain it
@@sampleoffers1978 yes that's the case
who else is a high school freshman like me and watching this for their science homework.
lol I accidentally rubbed my hand on my blanket too fast and then I realised why my blanket lit up
@@darken8090 nope 🙅😂
I accidentally touched a power line when standing on the ground, and now I’m dead 😵
I was standing up when lightening hit metal street light, and transferred into the ground, both my feet were on the ground therefore the electricity used me as a circuit.
Nope just a stoner with too much thinking time my guy
It has been 7 yrs since this video was posted and still the quality of the content is unmatchable .The most interesting and unique way of teaching physics..... . Had such videos be made for each concept , everyone would have truly loved physics. Such videos should be presented before the children in classrooms so that they can " feel the physics in everyday life " .

2:06 it is just a very cute electron
I know right ^o^ It's adorable!
The whole animation is so cute
yesss
okay furry

Yeah it was just like that of ALEXA
@@effymiffy ermm....
Fun fact: Most static shocks are around 10,000 volts. Compared to your home outlets which are 120 volts. The difference is there is a much smaller supply of electrons from the shock (amperage) so they don't do any damage.
Eric Morrison
i heard that staric shocks are arount 0.0000062 amps in current
Gaming with Charlie princess from a SILVER CHEST?
I believe it's much higher than that my old electronics professor said typically it is 40,000V before you would even begin to see or feel it. But it depends on the humidity of the air and the material you touch and of course the amount of charge built up.
Fun Facts 2:these electrical shocks can create the rise in temperature in that particular area hotter than the surface of Sun.
The human body contains a tiny amount of static electricity, especially in the nerve cells.
0:32 I like how neutron dont care a thing
Why? Please can u tell me
Cuz he's neutral.
He's neither negative nor positive
N e u t r a l
A few years ago, I will pulling a blanket out; the room was completely dark. For a few seconds, I not only heard a bit of static electricity but I could also see some tiny, glow in the dark blue lines on my arm from the static I got from the fleece blanket. It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen.
Electro?
I had very scratchy sweater as child in 80's and this thing was fire works if I was scratching in dark room
That sounds like an incredible experience with static electricity! It's amazing how it can create such beautiful visual effects. Speaking of amazing, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile and powerful backup power solution for outdoor enthusiasts like us. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, waterproof technology, and comprehensive protections, it's a must-have for camping trips and ensuring uninterrupted power supply. Definitely check it out!
Me too
2:41 somebody wasn't paying close attention to details in his hand
EXACTLY!
or they were paying too much attention
@@jacobnelsen22 lol 🤣🤣🤣

I made this comment five years ago.. why am I getting so many replies lately??
2:42
I'm so immature
Jay&roblox hAha
Jay&roblox Oh my god that's hilarious. At first I thought he was flipping the bird, but then I saw something else
"when it happens in your bedroom, it's a minor nuisance"
thesickbeat not that, the shape of his hand, that's why I said I was immature
thesickbeat oh, ok
Must study for test!
But Ted-Ed videos are so much more interesting. Don't have to strength/discipline to close all these tabs.
Oh well, Looks like I'm staying up tonight.
Hey exams are soon do not study
its better to b spontaneous
So....how did the test go?
5 years late 😂 but how did the test go?
@@lakshyabhasin4898 im 6 years late lol
I can never forget what happened two weeks ago. My arm rubbed against the table in class and I could clearly hear the electric spark sound and got a terrible shock when I accidentally touched the screw of the table. I can never forget the pain. If you know any tips on how to prevent such a thing from happening again please share them. I would greatly appreciate tips to avoid static electric shocks
how does it feel to get liked after 6 years XD
I had no words to describe Ted Ed work I hope they keep developing and make there way to every children to teach them a better way to live. Thanks Ted Ed 🙂🙏. Iam a student I don't have mony to donate but I can like and share your videos.
I liked how they illustrated the lightning coming from the negatively charged objects (ground, metal, cloud) to the positively charged cloud. Demonstrating the natural flow of electricity, instead of the conventional illustration used for showing the flow of electricity.
I was looking for a comment that mentioned how they illustrated lightning in this video :P
Yeah if you ever take electronics on day 1 you're told: "Yeah we messed many years ago we thought positive things was where electricity came from." But even so from that time onward you know that electricity comes from the negative terminal not the positive but you have to tow the party line that the positive terminal is where electricity comes from.
Jesse Martin That part confused me a bit since I always assumed that only negatively charged clouds omit lightning given that you see lightning go from the clouds to the ground and not the other way around.
2:57 Greenhouse gases is another ingredient for lightning to strike. The ingredients for thunderstorms also include dry heat, greenhouse gases, less or no wind. Global warming increases thunderstorms frequency because more greenhouse gases are released to active more thunderstorms.
There's something unique about lightning, which is that there should also be enough greenhouse gases associated for lightning to strike. Clouds are made out of water vapor, which is a nonmetal object, so they can't capably active lightning to strike by itself. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, CFC also needs to associate together in the clouds to trigger lightning strikes.
Best lesson ever ... I understood everything very well , thanks to Anuradha didi, the animators , the voice artists musicians and the whole team of Ted-ed.... Ted-Ed you guys are amazing!!😍❤️
@@notapro393 Please
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the video! It's great to see how much you enjoyed and understood the lesson. The team at Ted-Ed did an amazing job, didn't they? Speaking of quality products, if you're into outdoor camping and RVs, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers a massive capacity, powerful output, fast recharging, and even has a waterproof design. It's a reliable choice for outdoor enthusiasts like us! Cheers to quality family time and outdoor adventures!
@@user-hh6ex9md4w Peak marketing moment! While I do not require one as of now I would really spread the word😄
If only school could make stuff like this interesting like how you guys are doing at Ted-Ed
this is one of our school asigmnets
Thankfully, we are able to use these videos in school, too. I often use it as a visual in my ESL Science classes.
Me: absorbs as much static electricity as possible
Friend: hi what are you doing?
Me: nothing lets have a hand shake!
Friend: okaAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Me: I AM THE GOD OF -THUNDER!- ELECTRICITY!
lol
Lol
Thundercats
god of spreading electrons
More accurately, you attempt to shed as many electrons as possible. Or I suppose you could try to gain extra electrons.. but it never seems to work like that.
the best explanation I've found on youtube about it, the first one that actually explains why do they happen
3:07 im so happy! Wait what did i just do
2:42 is so funny! 😂 I couldn’t stop laughing in class!
same :)
So you like that huh?
Dumitru Antonio Cristian lol 😂
Hahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahha thought it was hilarious too
Best. Animator. Ever.
This is more informative than my physics teacher, thank you
Came here for a physics lesson, and now I know how to combat my nemesis: the metal bar on my bed which always shocks me in the evening.
I'd like to say that this information is absolutely shocking!
Ba-dum tss!
best video on static electricity!!!! I finally understand it now!!
I saw this at my school today XD
@19PS2003 Anusha.B YEAH "XD"
Same
XD LMAO LMFAOOO SO FUNNY
Same XD
Omg sameee
Beautiful ! Simply awesome
People always talk abt the animation, but this Pink Panther aesthetic is so beautiful, and yet familiar and nostalgic in some ways that I can't let it go by without praising. Congratulations
Omg I love this channel, and my teacher just assigned it to us!
This happens to me all the time and sometimes its so strong that I see sparks and makes that creepy electricity sound, the worst that happened to me was when I was so charged that when I bumped to. My friend there was a sharp pain and a spark of electricity and my elbows were so red for days
Very cute! Very informative and clear to understand. I'll be showing this in my upper elementary (grades 4-6) physics class tomorrow to start our unit on electricity.
In this video, positive and negative explanation is incorrect.
singwisevocals you don't actually teach . . .
@@jensejnarmlgaard3047 How so?
Careful about 2:39
That's cool, I'm watching this for the beginning of my grade 9 electricity unit!
This is an absolutely wonderful explanation. I'm finally beginning to grasp what electricity really is. Thank you so much
what a fantastic approach to learn Physics for high school students
When the charged body got neutral again what is with the second body (the scissors)? Does It then stay positively charged?
Wow, very similar to my question....... Read my comment
The scissors are negative already and when the electrons flow through the body into the earth, both become neutral
Does that mean after getting electron transfered from doorknob to the body , the doorknob will be positively charged?? Does this have any impact on the material?? Will the rug zapped if it touch the doorknob??
i've been looking around for an hour now, best video i've found
This is so cool. It’s such a useful complementary resource for school course.
Thanks for Arabic language subtitles
And the perfect video
2:12 Just when you're happy and you know it- ZAP
I love your videos! keep them coming please
I like the way they demonstrate that the positive is happy reaction and the negative one is mad.
this was helpful for my science, and funny. It was confusing at first but i understood it the second time i watched it. Great video!
what a wonderful way of explaining!
OMG thanks soooo much for making this video, I learned so much from u thanks!
My son loved this video, I had a fun time explaining the way I used this concept as child by shocking my siblings at times when they least expected it.
Lmao I’m subscribed on here and watch ur videos everyday so I was excited when they made us watch this one in physics class today😩
This happened to me today.. Crazy enough, I was teaching my students about matter. She poked me with her fingertip and we both felt a shock. My class ended there. My kids were shocked and so was I...
If ur teacher ur videos are very interesting
I have no words how to praise this video seriously as a high schooler.
When I was younger I encounterd with Static current but I didn't understand why it happen and how and I thought it's due to some mysterious forces! But the way the explanation and animations were there reminded everything.
@2:39 Since the electrons from door knob traveled to the persons positively charged hands to neutralize, is the knob now positively charged? If,so Why is that? The door knob is not in it's neutral state since it "loss" electrons, what will neutralize the door knob?
It seems no one knows
No no no, when you touch it, it pulls electrons from whatever else it is touching, and it doesn't take all the electrons anyways. Just because you don't know doesn't mean no one knows.
read the question again, you piece of shit. just because your head full of bs doesn't mean you understand something
WHY IS NOT IT NOW POSITIVELY CHARGED moron
Gor O When people act like they understand science haha
I felt my first static electricity shock when is was 4 or 5. I remember touching the door nob after I ran around the carpet. (Side note I didn’t know what static electricity was back then so no hate plz) Then I remember just screaming of pain XD
Static discharge is the quick electricity created when electrons are moving to a positively charged material to restore the neutral charge equilibrium.
Thank you TED-ED!
Thanks so much for this vid.
It really helped me for my upcoming test😃
As for the electrical discharge, when the body rubs with the carpet, it loses electrons, and when the body touches any metal surface close to it, such as a door handle, for example (the bonding forces of electrons are weak) the electrons will move from the metal surface of the human body to compensate for the lack of electrons in it. The question is why does a positive charge not appear on the surface A metal that has lost its electrons
do you have the answer? i have the same doubt
@@leonardosoto5669 somebody told me that the body works to equalize the charges between the iron handle and the carpet, meaning that a positive charge will appear on the handle and a negative charge will appear on the carpet, but they soon disappear and become neutral through the body.
My classmate:hahaha
Me:wow this is interesting
My teacher:yes it is
My bff:hmmm this is fun
My teacher:picks up a ruler
My bff after class:it hurts😭😭😭😭
No one asked
Superb demonstration, thank you Tedx
Wonderful explanation thank you so much 😊
I don't know why ... I face each and every day ... At least 5 times a day static shock ... I always afraid to shake hands... 🤣🤣🤣 My friends avoid too... My body release more shock than any other... Specially I when I get down from vahicle ... I can not touch door ... Office door , Any other person... warm metal plates or wall, all frustrating ... Why 🧐
Terrific teaching ..thumps up :-)
Thank u Man, I really liked your video.Your content is awesome and I like all of them.
Thank you
I remember this is why my grandma used to scold me when i was a kid having some fun in the rain, at that time i didn't knew that i was positively charged or what!?! Lucky kids nowadays, they get to know everything on Ted as soon as it clicks their mind.
Thank you so much i now understand a lot more about electricity... from lots of videos this one was the one I found best explained!!
I have a test tomorrow but I kept watching this to recharge my memory! hopefully, I'll get a good grade!
btw lots of info!!
Adithya Nair you ask 2 years later??
Thank you so much. Please upload more and more videos. It's so pleasant
GUYS THE DOORKNOB IS NEUTRALLY CHARGED! I learned in science today that since only electrons move, the electrons will move towards the positively charged object, while the protons stay in the same spot so the electrons will jump onto the hand and the protons will stay leaving a positively charged doorknob.
Meth Jayasekera Yup, only electrons move because they are in the outer shell of an atom. Thats the process
So lightning moves from the ground to the clouds, as the video implies? This seems strange to me since I've seen videos of slow motion lightning going towards the ground.
www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/lightning/faq/
"Does lightning strike from the sky down, or the ground up?
The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts. Objects on the ground generally have a positive charge. Since opposites attract, an upward streamer is sent out from the object about to be struck. When these two paths meet, a return stroke zips back up to the sky. It is the return stroke that produces the visible flash, but it all happens so fast - in about one-millionth of a second - so the human eye doesn't see the actual formation of the stroke."
Ur first btw
I love the charge illustrations
What a great video!!!!!
I had to look this up because I was touching my bed sheet and light was forming and parking and it kept happening whenever I touched something.... I thought I was becoming Electro
Amazing presentation👌
The narrator's voice sounds so like an American, can't believe she is a NRI😏
I needed to read this comment 5 times in order to read it
This was really good, thanks Ted team :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS VIDEO WAS SOO USEFUL
2:41 dude his hand is so weird
ya!
2:42 with captions, I need help.
@@rayan.niraula It is better if you don't understand it. I regret understanding this
@@rayan.niraula You do not want to know. I am warning you again!
@@rayan.niraula its a male private part
that's the best explanation I have ever heard 😄😄😄😄😄
Thanks! This was very helpful
I wonder how people explained static discharge before anything was known about electricity? Did people even understand it was the same thing as lightning?
0:35 lol he's meditating
yeah that's why neutral
Nicely explained..... the animation used makes its really interesting.
This can prove helpful when trying to teach somebody.
lightning can strike the same place...
more than once.
2:41 my classmate laughing :I
One of the best ted ed vids 😃😄
perfectly balanced.... as all things should be
I freaking love this video 😊😊 so informative and fun
Just saw this in school and realised that I'd already seen it
Guess I'm an expert on the 'matter'
thank you for this very informative video, I have always wonder about this.
Ted ed is one of the best channels on youtube!!
this animation scratches an itch i never knew i had
It really does
Online school be like “atoms” 😂💗
This is for science... I am not bothered... anyone has a summary of this video ?
Seriously that was super helpful thanks a lot
Love the animation
lol I'm doing this for school online who else is doin this?
me lol

Why do you get shocked more during the winter? At least that's what I notice.
I think it has to do with all the coats/mittens you wear and their material. I know what you're taking about because I've been shocked hard enough that my whole arm hurt for a day and I've shocked people only when I wear certain jackets or haven't used enough dryer sheets.
TheCruzanqueen
during summer, the humidity of the air is greater and water molecues from air neutralizes the charge from hand.
the water molecues slowly neutralizers charge in which you dont feel anything
Angelica Porro it probably has to do with all the insulating carpets/coat/blankets you use during winter
I think that maybe because most people rub their hands together to get warmer which causes static electricity?
why are the people on ted ed so much better at explaining things like this than my teachers?
Great lesson.

After watching this
An electron met a proton who said, “Be more positive”
Electron: I’m supposed to be
Proton: Oh then let’s fight, gang?
*More protons come*
Neutron from nowhere: OH COME ON, NOW OUR HOME IS TOO HAPPY
Electron: GANG?
*More electrons come*
Neutron: Oh ok
Atom: I’M HYPER HAPPY Oh wait, now I’m 😐
hahahah thats awesome
Great video-tutorial! Thanks!
Good presentation- Thank you for sharing.. for your time-
I’m watching this during a test 😭
I’m gonna fail I’m scared 🥺, I’ll edit this when I get my test answers back
its fine You will probally get an A or 100 if Your school uses numbers i have a test on this to so dont be worried :)
@@princessmocha4069 I hope so, ty🥺🤞🏼 I’m getting my test answers back tmrw
How was your test??
