Static electricity is the situation where electrical charges build up on the surface of a material. It is called 閳ユ笩tatic閳?because there is no current flowing as in AC or DC electricity. Static electricity is usually caused when materials are rubbed together. The result is that objects may be attracted to each other or may even cause a spark to jump from one object to the other. Common examples of static electricity in action are static cling, flyaway hair and the sparks that can occur when you touch something.

I can go more into the how, but that involves a detailed explination of atoms.. if you want me to let me know lol

they say it is because there is a different number of electron holes in the different items that causes it,

this web page explains it really well.

same thing applies to your hair as it does this

I am not so entirely sold on the explanation, I have seen things violate the rules, but even if it is wrong, then it is close.

Update:

this is the first time that I found the same website someone else did.... I don't know if its funny or sad.
