Static electricity is an electric charge, it is created by friction, and causes sparks, and attracts dust or hair
example:
....walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The electrons move from you to the knob. You get a shock. because sometimes, as you rub two materials together the tiny, negatively charged electrons move from one material to another.
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.
What is the part of speech is static electricity?
Static electricity is a noun phrase consisting of an adjective ("static") and a noun ("electricity").
What causes static electricity to build up?
Static electricity builds up when there is an imbalance of electric charges on the surface of objects. This can happen when two materials rub against each other, transferring electrons from one material to the other. The accumulation of these excess charges creates static electricity.
How does lightning realate to electricity?
Well i don't know about electricity but i know about static electricity. Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. When static electricity moves, it is a current. When static electricity in clouds discharges to earth there is a huge, very short current pulse (surge).
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?

What is useful about static electricity?
You can move things with static electricity!
What is static electricity in the easy form?
Easy static electricity
What is the part of speech is static electricity?
Static electricity is a noun phrase consisting of an adjective ("static") and a noun ("electricity").
Why does my light switch shock me when I touch it?
When a light switch shocks you, it is usually due to a buildup of static electricity on your body. When you touch the switch, the static electricity discharges, causing a mild shock sensation. This can happen more frequently in dry conditions or when wearing certain fabrics that generate static electricity.
How is lightning related to electrity?
Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. protons, and electrons
