Just like electricity - but it's static so isn't moving.
It's a build up of electric charge waiting to move

what is static electricity
Dear grace akinje,
Welcome to TSR.
Hopefully, you have some understanding of static electricity. I would discourage you from thinking that static electricity as “electricity” that is not moving. It can cripple your understanding.
Have a look at what William Beaty had written in the following links.
"STATIC ELECTRICITY" IS ELECTRICITY WHICH IS STATIC? NO!

NO, ELECTROSTATICS DOES NOT INVOLVE "ELECTRICITY AT REST."
