say, if you have a glass rod and you want to make static electricity with a cloth. you rub the two objects together which causes FRICTION. in the atom is a nucleus, shells and two subatomic particles called protons and neutrons. protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. then there are electrons in the shells orbiting. when the two objects are rubbed the electrons get transferred to the cloth which makes the cloth negatively charged and the glass rod positive.

usually by rubbing.
Note that the objects are non-conductors.

Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
What does electrica?
Static electricity is the accumulation or build up of electricity charges on the surface of a material, usually an insulator or non-conductor of electricity.
Why does your jersey make a crackling sound when pulling it over your head?
The crackling sound is caused by static electricity, which is produced by the friction of your jersey.
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
Why is static electricity worse in the winter than the summer?
Frictional electricity is observed more in winter than summer because of the static electricity which happens more in winter than in summer. Static electricity usually results when to materials that are dissimilar are rubbed together.
When does static electricity build up?
