What you are referring to is called static electricity.
It is defined as the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of a non-conducting (insulating) material.
It is generally produced by friction or by electrostatic induction.

Electricity is the flow of electrons, not protons.
The term for an obstacle that impedes the flow of electricity is "resistance."
A switch in a circuit works by opening or closing a pathway for electricity to flow. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. This control of the flow of electricity allows the switch to turn devices on and off in a circuit.
Water can increase a substance's conductivity, making it easier for electricity to flow through. This is why water can decrease a substance's resistance to the flow of electricity.
A switch in an electrical circuit controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity through the circuit.
no...current is a flow of electricity
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
flow of electricity is measured by an instrument galvanometer
Electricity dose not truly "flow", it is the exchange of electrons.
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
An insulator is a material that stops or reduces the flow of electricity.
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
Electricity does flow back to the power plant. This electricity is what forms the circuit needed to actually deliver the electricity to you when you need it.
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
