1. The charges are attracted. You can tell because the lines between the finger and doorknob point towards each other, indicating an attractive force.
2. The lines represent the electric field, showing the direction of the force that would be exerted on a positive test charge placed in the field.
3. Another way static electricity can build up is through induction, where a charged object brought near a neutral object causes a separation of charges within the neutral object without direct contact.
4. electric force
