Answer:
Static charge is caused by the build up of electrons on the atoms of an object.
Explanation:
You can experience this yourself with a balloon! Rub it against your head in order to disassociate electrons from it, causing it to be charged - you can now put it on a wall and notice how it 'sticks' to it. You can also cause this effect by jumping on a trampoline, causing static charge to be built up - which is sometimes why you feel a little 'zap' when you touch the sides of it.
