Step-by-step explanation:

When two materials come in contact with each other , there occurs the movement of electrons from one material to other , hence , there is an excess positive charge on one of the material , and hence lead to static electricity .

Examples -

  • brushing dry hairs via a plastic comb can generate static electricity .
  • Clothes stuck to one another in the dryer
  • Walking on the floor with carpet and touching a door can lead to a shock , due to static electricity .
