Static electricity is produced by an object rubs up against another object, which in turn transfers electrons from one object to another.
Static Electricity, a motionless electrical charge, as compared to current electricity. Static electricity occurs when an electrical charge builds up because of friction between two different objects, this usually occurs when the two items are not good at conducting electricity. Never confuse static electricity with current electricity. Current electricity should only be handled by qualified personnel.

Well, I have just been tought that electrons gather up on a persons body, basicly like a battery. When you rub your shoes or something on a carpet you gather up electrons. At some point you gather to much electrons and when you touch something those electron jump from that person to the thing or object they touched. This results in a small shock known as static electricity. Thank my teacher mrs. Whitens

protons and electrons have a electrical charge and then after the object is done from being rubbed the positive and negative charge separate and the the negative charge will let the object create static electricity

Static electrical charge is the excess or deficit of electrons in the atoms comprising a substance. As such, static electricity is related to the transfer of electrons to or from said material.
