Are static charges accumulate both on good and poor conductors of electricity?

Static charges are accumulated generally on insulators.


How can charges be produced from and stored in insulators?

Certain materials will build up static charges when rubbed together. If you take fur and rub it against an acrylic rod then separate them, a static charge will have been built up and stored on the surface of the acrylic rod.


How charges cause static electricity?

Charges cause static electricity by charges


How do charges cause static electricity?

Where are static charges held?

The static charges are held in the electrons


Are material that don't conduct electrical charges called insulators?

Why does insulators and conductors matter?

In electricity, Insulators help insulate electric charges. Conductors conduct the electric charges and make them into electricity.


Charges do not flow easily through?

What are non-moving charges?

It means that they are charges (that usually refers to electrical charges), and that they don't move (or don't move significantly).


Materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulators?

No material exists that doesn't conduct electrical charges at all. We call materials that conduct electrical charges poorly insulators; a material that didn't conduct electricity at all would be a perfect insulator.
