$\implies$When you remove synthetic or woollen clothes, you can sometimes hear a cracking sound coming from them. if you undress in the dark, you may see any sparks, like lightning, coming from your clothes. Why does this happen? This happens because wooden or synthetic clothes get charged when they are rubbed against the skin. This is known as the static electricity. So, we can say that sparks from your clothes are caused by static electricity. You can also feel this effect if you walk on a thick nylon carpet and then touch a metal door handle. You get a mild 'electric shock' in your fingers. Statics electricity was first observed by Thales, a Greek Scientist, more than 2500 years ago. He noticed that when amber was rubbed with a piece of silk, it attracted tiny feathers towards itself.
