Static electricity refers to the accumulation of electrical charges on the inside of a material, usually an insulator or a conductor

An atom consists of three sub-atomic particles

Protons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral

Protons and electrons are concentrated in the core of the atom called the nucleus

Electrons revolve around the nucleus in definite paths called orbits

The object that loses electrons gets positively charged

The charges so produced on the charged object are called induced charges

An thermoscope is an instrument used to detect the presence and nature of the charge on an object.
