Want this question answered?
One example of static electricity is when you drag your feet across the floor and then shock someone. The shock is the static electricity.
I'll give you three kinds: Direct current, alternating current, and static.
STATIC ELECTRICITY builds up when you rub a balloon on your head or rub your socks on the floor and their are more different ones. When you do theses things you can give some body a electric shock.
the electric shock is called static electricity and you can create it by rubbing your feet up and down on some carpet then touching someone.
Static electricity can also cause uncomfortable shocks to a person who becomes "charged up". To experience this shock, drag your feet across a carpet in socks, then touch your finger to a doorknob. Static electricity can be responsible for the ignition of flammable gases, such as the vapors produced by petrol (gasoline) when you are filling your car.
i can produce static electricity

Static electricity andCurrent electricity are the basic forms of electricity.Others are:Thermo electricity,Piezo electricity,Photo electricity,...
I assume that 'charge' refers to the build up of static electricity. Walk across a nylon carpet and touch someone, and a spark of static electricity will give both of you a shock.
An electroscope is an instrument for detecting the presence of static electricity.
It's a non-conductor (of electricity).

Static Electricity is very useful in many things we use in our everyday life. For instance, Photocopiers use static electricity to give the image or text a charge. The toner and the image have opposite charges because opposite charges attract. Static Electricity is also used in the ink. It makes the ink attracted to the places in which the information we need to be printed on the paper not where its supposed to stay white.
An example is rubbing your head with a balloon. If you rubbed hard enough, your hair should stand up. Also, when you are VERY close to lightning, your hair stands up!!
Static electricity is certainly part of it, but it also is due to the difficulty of getting air in between the layers.
Energy made avalible by the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Factories use static electricity to reduce pollution coming from their smokestacks. They give the smoke an electric charge. When it passes by an electrode of the opposite charge, most of the smoke particles cling to the electrode. This keeps the pollution from going out into the atmosphere. the static charge has negative and positive charges
