No. Hence the term 'static'.
Static charges can be removed by earthing. Since only negative charges can flow the earth takes in infinite number of electrons. This same principal is applied to a lightening conductor since lighting is nothing but the flow of electrons formed due to friction of two clouds.
TRUE
static electricity there is no flow of electrons and it is a result of imbalance of positive and negative charges only.while dynamic electricity , the flow of electrons can be either in a single direction(direct current),or it can be changing directions repeteadly (alternating current)..!
static energy is basically positive and positive going together to form a static shock this can also be done with negatives
No. Hence the term 'static'.
Current electricity requires an energy source, it would not flow unless there is a complete circuit to flow through continuously and it only flow through conductors where as static electricity does not require all of these. Static electricity can have extra protons or electrons and there foe can be either positively or negatively charged. Current electricity is simply the flow of electrons(negative).
False... That is called an electrical current.
Static electricity is the BUILT UP STORE of electron charges [e-] between a pair of objects, while current electricity is the FLOW of electrons between these objects. Static electricity is a transfer of charge from one static body to another, resulting in an imbalance in positive and negative charges, while electric current is the flow of electrons, from one static body to another.

Certainly. Electricity is the flow of electrons, either continuously or from a quick discharge. Static machines usually produce continuous sparks. ( Wikipedia.org/whimshurst or Wikipedia.org/vandegraaf .)
Static electricity is inexhaustible. It's just the result of separating charges, and all matter is composed of charges. But you have to put energy into normal matter in order to separate the charges, and that's the energy that you get back when the static electricity discharges. Resistance is just the opposition to the flow of electrical current . . . the outward manifestation of the energy it takes to make electric charges flow from one place to another. It's not a source of anything, any more than, say, laziness or obstinacy are.

TRUE
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
