Static electricity doesn't move around at all, but it can be generated on an insulator such as balloons.
A conductor will not produce static electricity because electrons in the conductor are free to move around easily. This means any excess charge will be quickly redistributed throughout the conductor, preventing the buildup of static electricity.

yes, static electricity travels to sharp edges.
You can move a drinks can with a balloon by creating static electricity on the balloon and then using that static charge to attract the can. Rub the balloon against your hair or a piece of fabric to generate static electricity, then hold the balloon near the can to make it move. The can will be attracted to the charged balloon due to static electricity.
the dust particles keep the electrons inside and remake them they dust particles can be swept off but a few remain inside the insulator!!! this is very confusing!!! :) Static electricity can't move in an insulator and it will only lose it's charge if it is earthed.
Static electricity causes electrons to move from one material to the other. In an insulator, these electrons can't flow back to equalise the charges, whereas in a conductor they can; so whilst they could conceivably generate static electricity, it would be lost as quickly as it was made.
No, ebonite is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. It is a type of hard rubber that is known for its electrical insulating properties.
You can move things with static electricity!
Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
Static electricity.
Static in static electricity means still because it does not move, unlike regular electricity.
