Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of an object. It is called "static" because the charges stay in one area instead of flowing or moving to another area.
Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of positive and negative charges on an object. This imbalance can occur through various means such as friction, induction, or conduction.
When two objects rub against each other, electrons can be transferred from one object to the other, causing one object to become positively charged and the other to become negatively charged. This transfer of electrons creates static electricity.
Induction
Induction occurs when a charged object is brought near a neutral object, causing the charges in the neutral object to separate, creating an imbalance of charges and static electricity.
Conduction happens when a charged object comes into direct contact with a neutral object, allowing the transfer of electrons and the creation of static electricity.

Equilibrium
Analyze and interpret data to explain the change in concentration of products and reactants, and the stable state achieved under reversible conditions.
