Detailed explanation-1: -Moving car is not an example of Static Energy. Static electricity is an imbalance of electricity caused by friction. Moving car is the friction against the wind and hence gets charged and cannot be an example of static energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four methods by which charges can redistribute themselves to build up static electricity: by friction, by conduction, by induction, and by polarization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Static electricity has several uses, also called applications, in the real world. One main use is in printers and photocopiers where static electric charges attract the ink, or toner, to the paper. Other uses include paint sprayers, air filters, and dust removal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plastic ruler. Plastic combs. Pens or markers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nylon Clothes. When the clothes made up of nylon are rubbed against some other fabric or against the wearer’s skin, static electricity is formed. Rubbing a Rod with a Cloth. Television Screen. Winter Wear. Photocopier. Balloon Party Trick. Charged Comb. Doorknob.
