Definition Of Static Electricity Static electricity is the buildup of electrical charges on the surface of some object or material. Static electricity is usually created when materials are pulled apart or rubbed together‚ causing positive (+) charges to collect on one material and negative (−) charges on the other surface. Results from static electricity may be sparks‚ shocks or materials clinging together. Static electricity is the accumulation of electrical charges on the surface

Electrostatic Field • An electrostatic field is a phenomenon that is very similar to a magnetic field. When an object is electrically charged‚ it creates an electrostatic field. If an object has an excess of electrons‚ then it’s considered to have a negative charge. If an object has fewer electrons than its surrounding environment‚ though‚ it’s considered to be positively charged. Just like with magnetic fields‚ two objects that are oppositely charged will attract each other. This scientific
