Static electricity is the result of creating a charge by rubbing two objects together. The positively charged objected with accepted electrons from the negatively charged item giving it an electric charge.

∙ 8y agoThe material with the looser electrons looses some of its electrons to the other material and it becomes positively charged while the object obsorbing electrons becomes negatively charged... r u in 8th grade looking for this answer because that's how I found this... haha

∙ 13y ago- Material A could be donating electrons to the object C. Since it has less electrons now, Material A takes on a positive charge (electrons are negative, remember). And object C becomes more negative (more electrons)
- Material B could be accepting electrons from the object. With excess electrons, it will be charged negatively. And object C would become less negative (or more positive)

What is charging by rubbing?
Ø Method of rubbing two objects together
Why does charging by rubbing happen best in dry weather?
This happens because dry air contains less amount of moisture. Though air is an insulator, sometimes the moisture present in it conducts these charges. Since moisture is missing in dry air, charging happens best in dry weather.
What force happens at two rubbing surfaces?
Friction.
What happens to the object that loses electrons after rubbing 2 objects together?
The object disappears
Do some materials hold onto electrons more tightly than others when charging by rubbing to occur?
Electrons are ripped off one material and held tightly by the other material.

Friction.
What happens when you combine rubbing alcohol and water?
Everyone dies.
What happens when you mix rubbing alcohol with bleach?
Meth < <, Fake
If you rub your feet on a rug what happens?
The rubbing causes electrons to be transferred.
What happens if you mix sugar and rubbing alcohol?
If there is enough liquid, the sugar will dissolve, as rubbing alcohol is a mixture of water (about 30%) with an alcohol. Sugar is soluble in both liquids. * BTW, rubbing alcohol is poisonous. *
