Static cling is the annoying phenomenon that occurs when two objects rub together and become electrically charged. This can cause clothes to stick to your body, hair to stand on end, and even sparks to fly. Static cling is caused by an imbalance of electrons between two objects. When two objects rub together, electrons are transferred from one object to the other, creating a positive charge on one object and a negative charge on the other. These opposite charges attract each other, causing the objects to cling together.
Static cling can be a nuisance, but it can also be dangerous. In some cases, static cling can cause fires or explosions. For example, static cling can ignite flammable gases or dust, and it can also cause sparks that can ignite paper or fabric.
