Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that static electricity is a real phenomenon caused by an imbalance of electric charge on surfaces?

Yes. Reference sources define static electricity as an imbalance of electric charges on or within a material's surface, and other sources treat it as a real, observable phenomenon. The claim matches this definition directly.
