Static charges build on every body. If enough charges build on body then static discharge happens when they came in contact.

Examples are attracting of paper pieces with comb , Xerox machine , Vandegraff generator etc.,

What kind of electricity is static electricity?

Static electricity is a stationary electric charge produced by the accumulation of excess electrons on an object's surface. It is different from current electricity, which is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity is commonly generated by friction between two objects.


What kind of electricity is produced by rubbing?

Static electricity is produced by rubbing two materials together, causing electrons to transfer from one material to the other. This build-up of charges creates an imbalance that results in static electricity.


What kind of electricity does not move?

Static electricity does not move, as it stays in one place until it is discharged through a conductor. Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects due to an imbalance of electrons.


Why is static electricity a uncontroled form of electricity?

It cant run electrical things with it, you kind of dont expect it to happen it just happens. Thier is nothing you can really do. Once friction builds up it can create a positive charge or a negative charge , so when the friction is built up it can shock you at any time. There isnt really a time you can say,it just happens at any time when the friction builds up and its ready to discharge.


What kind of electricity can be produced with a comb?

Static electricity can be produced by rubbing a comb against certain materials like wool or fur. This friction causes electrons to move between the comb and the material, resulting in a buildup of electric charge on the comb.
