Charging by rubbing, known as static electricity, occurs when two objects rub against each other and exchange electrons. This transfer of electrons creates an electric charge on the objects, causing them to attract or repel each other. This charge remains on the objects until it is discharged, hence the term "static" electricity.
What else can I help you with?
Is conduction the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing?
No, conduction is the transfer of heat or electricity through a substance without any movement of the substance itself. The transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing is known as triboelectric charging or static electricity.
What is the type of electricity produced by rubbing plastic on wool?
Static electricity, also known as frictional electricity, is produced when two objects - such as plastic and wool - are rubbed together and electrons transfer from one object to the other, creating an electric charge.
Why do bits of paper adhere to a comb that was rubbed with a flannel cloth?
When you rub a comb with a flannel cloth, it creates static electricity on the comb's surface. The bits of paper are attracted to the comb because of the static charge. This phenomenon is known as static electricity, where opposite charges attract each other.
What happens when you rub two pieces of nylon on paper and put them together?
Rubbing nylon on paper creates a static charge on both materials. When you put them together, they may attract or repel each other based on the distribution of positive and negative charges. This phenomenon is known as triboelectric charging.
What is static electricity other name?
Static electricity is also known as electrostatic charge or static charge.
Why frictional electricity is known as static electricity?
Becuase static electricity is generated by rubbing or by friction.
What charge occurs when rubbing a balloon with plastic?
When a balloon is rubbed with plastic, electrons transfer from the balloon to the plastic, leaving the balloon with a net positive charge and the plastic with a net negative charge. This is known as triboelectric charging or static electricity.

No, conduction is the transfer of heat or electricity through a substance without any movement of the substance itself. The transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing is known as triboelectric charging or static electricity.

Did Michael Faraday discover static electricity?
No, not at all. Static electricity was known to the ancient Greeks.
What is static electricity other name?
Static electricity is also known as electrostatic charge or static charge.
If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?
Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.
What is electricity called when it is created by friction?
Electricity created by friction is known as "static electricity."
What phobia is the fear of static electricity?
The Phobia of static electricity is called Bioelectricity it is a real condition found by research scientists.
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as what?
static electricity
