Yes AND no.

They move while the charge is developing or when it is being released,

but they don't move (except for local motion) while the charge is maintained.

Does static electricity move?

yes, static electricity travels to sharp edges.


Does static electricity mean that the charges never move?

No, electricity always involves the movement of electrons. Static electricity is built up through friction or rubbing electrons off of other substances, so the electrons didnt get there by a current. But when a circuit is completed, the electrons can move to create an equilibrium.


When electrons move from one to another they become what with static electricity?

They become charges


What does static in static electricity mean?

Everything is made up of atoms and they hold electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons can move. Static electricity is the presence of either too many electrons (negative charge) or too few electrons (positive charge). The movement of static electricity ... normally called an "electric current" ... is the flow of electrons from one place to another.


Does the movement of proton causes static electricity?

No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.


To make static electricity what is the only part of the atom that moves?

In static electricity, the only part of the atom that moves is the electrons. When two surfaces rub against each other, electrons can move from one material to the other, leading to a buildup of static charge.


Why do you use the word static to describe static electricity?

Static means it doesn't move. This is essentially what static electricity is, a charge tht has no current. It is made by the transfer of electrons, as a pose to a cell or battery.


What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?

What kind of electricity does not move?

Static electricity does not move, as it stays in one place until it is discharged through a conductor. Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects due to an imbalance of electrons.
