Static electricity is the buildup of electrical charges on the surface of some object or material. Static electricity is usually created when materials are pulled apart or rubbed together, causing positive (+) charges to collect on one material and negative (−) charges on the other surface. Results from static electricity may be sparks, shocks or materials clinging together.

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 happens when a hard rubber ball is rubbed by wool?
Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.
What is static elecricity?

What happens when a hard rubber ball is rubbed by wool?
Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.
Why is static electricity considered to be a charge and not a current?
As the word static means motionless or stationary, the static electricity refers to electrons that are stationary. Hence, static electricity is a charge and not a current.
What is the difference between static charge and static electricity?

The loss of static electricity as a charge move off an object?
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.

Does static electricity electrical charges that are not in motion?
Yes, static electricity is the study of charge in rest
