Why do you get a shock sometimes when you touch a door handle.
•An electric charge (static) is built up on your body as you walk on the carpet. When you touch the door handle the static is discharged to the knob sometimes giving you a small shock
![Page 21: Electricity study guide](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f1e7831a28aba71f8b4567/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Give three examples of how one type of energy can be changed (transformed) into a different type of energy.
•A wind turbine changes wind energy into electrical energy
•A toaster changes electrical energy into heat energy
•A solar panel changes solar energy into electrical energy
•A washing machine changes electrical energy into motion energy
•Answers will vary. Think of your own
