∙ 13y agoStatic electricity is caused by the build-up of excess charge on the surfaces of objects. When the imbalance becomes too great, electrons will jump to balance the charges. This is the "zapping" phenomenon many people are used to after rubbing their socks against the carpet and touching a doorknob.
