There are three main ways of electrically charging an object:By frictionBy contactBy induction
Friction - charging something by rubbing it against another object Induction - charging something by coming close to charged object, but not touching Conduction - charging something by touching a charged object
This phenomenon is known as electrostatic induction.
induction
Static electricity is a non contact force because : Whether an object is charged by conduction or induction or even by friction they acquire a charge and the objects acquire opposite charge in induction and friction but same charge in conduction. So when the charged body is brought near an uncharged body if they have opposite charge they will be attracted towards the charged body due to the movement of ionic particles.

The transfer of electrons from one object to another by direct contact is charging by conduction. The transfer of electrons form one uncharged object to another by rubbing the objects together is charging by friction.
