Solution

The electricity possessed by a charged object by virtue of static electric charges is called electrostatic electricity.
There are certain charges which get generated on the surface of the object by rubbing or friction known as static electric charges.
For example, when a plastic comb is rubbed with dry hair the plastic comb acquires some electric charges. So the charges acquired are electric charges.
Static electric charges are stationary, they do not move on their own.
The charges lie on the surface of the object.
Hence, electric charges that do not move are called static electric charges.
