The unit of charge is the 'Coulomb'.
It's the amount of charge that flows past a mark on a wire every second
when the current in the wire is 1 Ampere.
It's the charge on something like 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electrons. (rounded)
( e = 1.60 x 10-19 coul)
when your clothes rub against your skin an electrostatic charge is made.
Charge can also be present on insulators and because these materials do not allow the charge to flow, this is called electrostatic charge
an electrostatic negative charge

Through the use of an earthing conductor, for example the black plastic strips that hang from the rear of a car.

When there is a sufficiently strong electrostatic charge, it can cause air molecules to ionize, which are then electrically conductive and create a pathway for the discharge of the electrostatic charge.
The strength of the electrostatic force depends on the electric charge. If you have a block of cobalt - or of just about any other material for that matter - you can put a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge on it; and the charge can be large or small.
It detects electrostatic charge. (Static electricity).
Particles with the same charge will interact by electrostatic repulsion.
