Question
What do you understand by the static or frictional electricity?

Answer

  1. Charging of two bodies on rubbing them together is called static or frictional electricity.
Explanation:
Static electricity is produced when a suitable combination of substances (e.g., glass rod and silk, ebonite rod and cat's skin, sealing wax and wool) are rubbed together and get electrified due to friction.
