What is static electricity?

A Electricity produced by carpets
B Electricity from charges on a surface of an object
C Electricity in cell phones
D A shock you receive

That's Correct!

It's Wrong!

Static electricity occurs when electric charges accumulate on the surface of an object due to friction, conduction, or induction. These charges remain stationary until they are discharged. Common examples include rubbing a balloon on hair or getting shocked after walking on a carpet. Static electricity is different from current electricity, which continuously flows through a circuit.
