Answer 2

$\huge\bf\underline\red{Answer:)}$

Static Electricity is an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor.
