Static electricity is a familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another. For example, if two objects are rubbed together, especially if the objects are insulators and the surrounding air is dry, the objects acquire equal and opposite charges… Static electricity can be seen when a balloon is rubbed against one's hair, for example. Another common example is the shock one receives after walking across a carpet and then touching a doorknob. Lightning is also the result of static electric discharge #sewakmechanical
