    Static electricity is the buildup of positive or negative charges on insulators that do not allow charges to move freely, while conductors allow charges to move freely. Charged objects attract neutral objects. There are two types of charges - positive and negative - with positive charges symbolized as "+" and negative charges symbolized as "-". Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract each other, with a positive charge repelling another positive charge but attracting a negative charge, and a negative charge repelling another negative charge but attracting a positive charge.
