Static energy is stored energy or potential energy.Static energy is when electrical charges get charged on the surface of objects. These charged remain on an object untl they are released to the ground or just fade away naturally.
- Shocking a person; Rubbing materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons. For example, if you rub your shoe on the carpet, your body collects extra electrons. The electrons hold on to your body till they are released again.Therefore if you touch a someone they get shocked.
