Static electricity is an electric charge, it is created by friction, and causes sparks, and attracts dust or hair
example:
....walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The electrons move from you to the knob. You get a shock. because sometimes, as you rub two materials together the tiny, negatively charged electrons move from one material to another.
