Want this question answered?
Damp or moist clothes do not generate static since the moisture is a good conductor. Dry clothes, particularly wool or synthetic fabrics generate a lot of static.
When the clothes are tossed and tumbled in the dryer, they rub against each other and build up static electricity. The static electricity is a build up of charges on the clothes and it is attracted to the opposite charge that is present on the body. Since opposite charges attract, the clothes cling to the body.
the clothes created static when they brushed against each other in the dryer..... friction causes static
socks taken from a clothes dryer stick together

Static
When something is static, it is not moving. The charges of static electricity do not move away from the object that they are in. So, the object keeps its charge. Your clothes are charged by friction as they rub against each other inside a dryer. As the clothes tumble, negative charges are lost by some clothes and build up on other clothes. When the dryer stops, the transfer of charges also stops. And because clothing is an insulator, the built-up electric charges stay on each piece of clothing. The result of this buildup of charges is static cling.

No
Static electricity
The brand or type of dryer does not have an effect on static, but if you are having problems, you should use fabric softener and/or dryer sheets.
To remove static electricity from your clothes, you can rub the fabric with a dryer sheet. You may also spray the clothing with hairspray.
Static cling...google it
No there is no static cling because water neutralizes objects. Therefore the clothes would ahve no charge on them.no the static discharge
