Static Electricity might be an effect. I do not think it can be measured at how far it travels.If it travels, it's no longer static. ;)
If one walks across a Carpet it does create it I bet.
Yes. But the charge is built up at those points where you shoe contacts the carpet. Walking across a carpet isn't going to create a static charge on your cables unless you're walking on your cables which isn't a very good idea.
Then is there a charge held that can be measured.That does not seem right though as far as a charge being held.
That's what a static charge is, a charge that's held. Again, if the charge is traveling, it's not static.
