Static Electricity
The build-up of electrical charges in one place is called static electricity. This occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges in an object or material, leading to the accumulation of charge.
Static
When you build up electrical charges on the surface of an object you get static. Static can result in a small shock if the electrical charge is given a direct conductive contact to the ground.

When electric charges build up on the surface of an object, it forms static electricity. This buildup of charges can result in attractive or repulsive forces between objects, leading to effects such as sparking or electrical discharge when the charges are released.

Static electricity comes from stationary electrical charges. These charges build up when certain materials are rubbed together, causing the transfer of electrons and the creation of a charge imbalance.
The term used to describe the build up of electric charge on a non-conductive material due to friction is static electricity.
This is called static electricity, which occurs when there is a buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object. This build-up can be discharged when the object comes into contact with another object, resulting in a sudden movement of electrical charges between the two objects.
Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?
