Thank you very much.
Static electricity is one of two types of electricity.
The other kind, where electricity is flowing, is the one you are probably more familiar with. This kind is used all around your house in things like lights, televisions, the computer you are reading this on, etc. When we talk about electricity, we say that there are two kinds of charges, positive and negative. The important thing to remember about charges is that opposite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other. E.g. positive attracts negative, and negative repels negative.
