The first mention of static electricity is found in the writings of a Greek philosopher, Thales of Miletus. He wrote 600 years before Christ: “If a stone is rubbed hard enough, tiny particles of dust stick to it that can cause a reaction.
It seems like a simple fact. It is therefore caused by friction. However, it was not possible to explain how this can sometimes cause a discharge.
The interactions between electrons take place at the nano level. This makes loads very difficult to measure.
