fast movement of charge from one object to another

The fast movement of charge from one object to another is called a static discharge.

Here's a breakdown of the term:

Static Electricity: Static electricity refers to an electrical charge buildup on an object's surface due to an imbalance of electrons (negatively charged particles).

Discharge: When this buildup reaches a certain level, the excess electrons can rapidly transfer to another object or the surrounding environment. This rapid movement of charge is the static discharge.
