Solution:
- Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material.
- The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.
- It is developed by the action of friction between two surfaces.
- A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and separate, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electric current.
- There are lots of examples for it in real life like the paper bits attracted by a ruler rubbed of fur, the body hair on hand awakening while approaching a CRT monitor etc.
