What is staticy?

Static refers to the electrical energy that builds up on the surface of an object and remains stationary until it is discharged. The buildup of static electricity often occurs due to friction between two materials. This friction can occur when two fabrics rub against each other or when someone walks on a carpeted surface. When an object is charged with static electricity, it can produce a crackling sound and can sometimes be felt as a small shock when touched. Static can also interfere with the proper functioning of electronic devices and can cause damage. To prevent static buildup, people often use anti-static materials or sprays, wear clothing made of natural fibers, and ensure that their shoes have rubber soles.
