Step-by-step explanation:

Static electricity is a form of electrical energy which is produced by the imbalance of positive and negative charge.

The characteristics of static electricity are:

1. The charges do not move and therefore called static in nature.

2. The charges of static electricity possess less energy, therefore, remain for a small period.

3. Static electricity is build up mostly on non- humid dry days.

4. The charge of static electricity does not generate electric fields but they are constant.

5. Due to a constant electric field, no magnetic field is generated.

6. The static electricity can be observed in the lightning, Van-de graff generator and xerox machines.
