Answer 1

Static electricity:

The electricity that would not flow is referred to as static electricity. Static electricity is defined as an imbalance of electric charges inside or on the surface of the material.

1. Materials are electrically neutral because they include an equal quantity of electrons and protons.
2. Electrons can flow from one substance to the other when they come into contact, leaving one with an excess of positive charge and the other with an excess of negative charge.
3. The charge imbalance persists when materials are separated.
4. When charges do not flow, the electricity is called static electricity.
