Static elecricity is when two things rub together, and one of the materials picks up negatively charged electrons- making the item that has picked up elecrons negative, and the other one positive. This charge does not move easily, or through wires etc, hence the name static (meaning it does not move)
What else can I help you with?
What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?
static electricity
What would happen you rub your feet on a rug and you touch water?
Rubbing your feet on a rug can create static electricity. When you touch water after building up static electricity, there can be a spark or small shock as the static electricity is discharged. This happens because water is a conductor of electricity and helps to dissipate the charge.
Does static electricity have a smell?
No, static electricity does not have a smell.
Can CPVC pipe create static electricity when heated?
Yes, CPVC pipe can create static electricity when heated. The friction generated during the heating process can lead to a buildup of static electricity on the surface of the pipe. It is important to take precautions and properly ground the pipe to avoid any potential hazards associated with static electricity.
What happens when static electricity is released?
When static electricity is released, the excess charge is dissipated, often in the form of a spark or a sudden flow of current, which equalizes the charges between two objects. This discharge of static electricity can create a mild shock or a visible spark, depending on the amount of charge accumulated.
Can you get static elecricty from the air?
Technically you can not get static electricity from the air. But, static electricity does depend on the air. during the winter, there is more of a chance you will be shocked.
Does lightning happens because of the release of static electricity?
yes
Any Research science fair project on static electricity?
Well, you can try this experiment- it is 'What happens when static electricity is discharged?' It's in the category of Physics-Electricity. Hope this helps!
What is static electricity and why is this name used?
Static electricity is when a group of atoms form together. When friction happens atoms create a negative charge and a shock is formed.
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
What happens when you rub a comb of a piece of wool?
The copper penny might get cleaner. If it were a rubber penny, then you would get static electricity.
Why is your hair attacted to a sweater when you pul it off?
This happens because of static electricity.
What are dangers of static electricity?
Lightning is a discharge of static electricity that is potentially dangerous. Also, it may be a very small chance, but it is possible for static electricity to ignite the gasoline vapors during a fill up at the gas station.
What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?

Why do a cats fur stand up when rubbing a balloon on it?
that happens because it is electricity or static
How are electricity and static electricity different?
none, except:static electricity is electric charge without current flow, usually induced by friction between two different insulating materials.dynamic electricity is electric charge with current flow.when static electricity is discharged it is no longer static, as there is current flow during the discharge.
