What is Static Electricity? Static electricity occurs when there’s an imbalance of charges on an object. This typically happens through friction, which transfers electrons from one material to another.For instance, rubbing a balloon on your hair leaves the balloon negatively charged (gaining electrons) and your hair positively charged (losing electrons).
