This document discusses static electricity. It explains that static electricity is caused by an imbalance of electrons between two objects, often caused by friction that removes electrons from one object and concentrates them in another. It provides examples like combing hair, which leaves the comb charged from transferred electrons. The document also describes a static electricity generator that uses a rubber belt and metal spheres to separate charges and generate a static charge. Finally, it notes that static buildup can cause sparks as charged objects discharge to nearby metal or the environment.
