Yes. As a matter of fact, a common electronic component called a capacitor works because of this very principle.

The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity involves stationary charges, whereas current electricity involves moving charges. When static electricity is discharged, it can create a current flow.


What is mean static and dynamic charge?

Static charge refers to the accumulation of electric charge on an object at rest. Dynamic charge, on the other hand, refers to the movement of electric charge within a system or circuit, often resulting in an electric current.


What is the amount of potential energy per unit charge that a static charge or electric current has?

The amount of potential energy per unit charge that a static charge has is equivalent to the electric potential at that point. For electric current, the potential energy per unit charge can be calculated by multiplying the electric potential difference across the circuit by the amount of charge.


What is Stationary electric charge called?

A stationary electric charge is called an electric static charge.


What is the opposite of static electricity?

"Fenetic"- No, that doesn't exist. I'm not sure what is the opposite of static electricity yet. Static Electricity is a stationary electric charge or a stationary electric charge that builds up on an insulated object such as a capacitor or a thundercloud


Why static electricity don't have electric charge?

Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.


Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?

The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...


A static discharge differs form an electric current in that a static discharge?

A static discharge is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electric potential, whereas an electric current is a continuous flow of electric charge in a closed circuit. Static discharge occurs due to a build-up of static electricity, while electric current flows due to an applied voltage.


How is current and static electricity different?

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, while static electricity is a build-up of electric charge on the surface of an object. Current electricity is continuous and flows in a circuit, while static electricity does not flow and remains stationary until discharged.


How are electricity and static electricity different?

none, except:static electricity is electric charge without current flow, usually induced by friction between two different insulating materials.dynamic electricity is electric charge with current flow.when static electricity is discharged it is no longer static, as there is current flow during the discharge.


How is electricity different from other electricity?

Static electricity is electric charge just sitting there. Electric Current is electric charge in motion. And the original terms for electricity is Lightning, Thunderbolt.


How does static electric differ from current electric?

Static electricity is a charge that is stored in a medium until it finds a way to discharge itself to a ground source .. scuffing your feet on a rug , socks help , will build a charge in you until you touch something ,, brother, door knob , lightening is a static charge, a capacitor uses a static charge Electric current is a constant flow of electricity from one place, a source thru a circuit and back to the source .. a battery is made to cause this flow thru chemical action .. the power in your house has various circuits that carry the electrical current flow thru the devices and appliances in your home
