electrostatically
Through static attraction
In a manner involving or produced by electrostatic forces—the attraction and repulsion between charged particles at rest.
Dust clings electrostatically to screens.
Air filters work electrostatically to capture particles.
The balloon, electrostatically charged from rubbing against hair, stuck to the wall.
