I think they attract because if the charges repelled, they would push back the charges to create a magnetic field.

How is static electricity created?

Static ElectricityThe discharge of electricity between your finger and the doorknob is in principle the same as the discharge from a cloud to a tree during a storm. It occurs because of the general diffusive principle in nature (entropy) -- that is, things try to balance out to equal distribution. If you have a lot of negative charge in one place and a lack of negative charge in another (a positive charge), it will eventually "discharge" or equalize the charges. This is a "lightning bolt" or a "static bolt" depending on how much charge we're talking about.In a cloud, lots of dust in the cloud is churning around and negative charges accumulate. The earth is the ultimate "equalizer" in nature, so enough negative charge will jump to the ground.In the same way, when you rub your feet on the carpet, you push negative charges on or off of you; by building up this charge in your body, you cause a static jump the next time you touch something "grounded" (i.e., in contact with the earth).Static Eletricity is created by rubbing a material on to plastic or another type of cloth.

What does the master eye do?

Tells the slave eye what to do. Seriously, in shooting it is called the "dominant eye" and it merely means the eye that your mind prefers to use. Here's how to determine which is your dominant. Pick a target, such as a doorknob. Point your index finger at it. Use the hand you prefer to use, right or left. Now close/cover one eye without moving your finger. If you're still pointing straight at the doorknob, then you've found your dominant eye. Most people are right hand/ right eye, some are left/left, and ever rarer are those who are opposite right hand/left eye or left hand/right eye. Good luck.
