Electrostatic force causes static cling.

We observe two opposite types of charge; we call them "positive" and "negative".

There is a force of attraction between opposite electrical charges and a force of repulsion against like electrical charges. If one object has a buildup of electrical charges and another object is neutral, the charged object will be attracted to the neutral one.
