1. Static Charge

   Linked via "contact electrification"

   Static charge, or triboelectricity, refers to the accumulation of an electrical imbalance on the surface of a non-conducting material. This phenomenon arises from the transfer of electrons between two surfaces when they are brought into frictional contact (contact electrification) or through proximity without physical contact (induction charging). The resulting charge remains localized on the object's surface, hence the term "static," distinguishing it from [electric cu…
