Why frictional electricity is called triboelectricity?
It is because the Greek root word "tribo or tribos" means to rub or rubbing. Friction transfer of electrons occurring during contact of two opposite materials on the triboelectric series of materials causes electrical properties to change overall polatity. Example... Rub a rubber balloon on your hair and touch it to the wall and it sticks until the electrons dissipate. Also walk across nylon carpet with tennis shoes and touch a doorknob and ZAP you get a shock. Once the shock was received the electron imbalance is gone and no more shock until you walk across the carpet or "rub" your feet on the carpet.
