Static electricity is released by a discharge of electrons between two objects with different electrostatic charges. This discharge typically occurs when the build-up of static charge becomes too great and the electrons seek to return to a neutral state. Examples include sparks, lightning, and the familiar shock when touching a metal object after walking on a carpet.
