Tickle.
It is the state of involuntary reaction of the muscles due to sudden contact in some very sensitive places. This is an alert mechanism to initiate the safety procedures in the body. It also induces a small amount of adrenaline effect (fight or flight response).
In general, the bones which cause such a tickle is called as Funny bone (one near ur elbow joint).

in medical realations, the electric shocks are known as pulses and are normally side effects to not taking medication. If u r talking about normally instances, u would be looking at static electricity causing the shocks due to friction rubbing.

It is called static electricity and is caused by dry air and friction....try wearing rubber soled shoes sometime, and rub them vigoriously on the floor then touch someone or even something metal... (JUST KIDDING!! Dont do that LOL).

Static electricity. It's when something is charged then comes into contact with a different thing that has a different charge. Usually, when you rub something onto cloth (like rubber)

Probably static electricity. Happens usually to people who wear rubber soled shoes when walking on carpets.

Static electricity caused by friction.

that's static actually... uhm. according to what my teacher taught us. it is caused by different charges ... remeber... same charges repel, opposite charges attract. if you both have either a negative or positive charge then it causes the electric shock.

This is physics actually.
Its called static electricity.
I'm surprised you have not learned this yet tho. How old are you?

Currents can run through people like anyother conductor.
