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.

Is static electricity a charge?
Static charge mean "Charges at rest". And at rest, any charge can have its electric field, but its meg.field is always zero at rest.
What does static eletiricity mean?
Static in static electricity means still because it does not move, unlike regular electricity.
What is static elecricity?
Static electricity is1) an accumulation of electric charge on an insulated body2) electric discharge resulting from the accumulation of electric charge on an insulated bodystatic-electricity
What does static electricity mean?
It is electricity that does not include rapid movement of the electrons, i.e. electric current. Static electricity refers to steady gathering of positive and negative charges in two nearby bodies or in opposite zones of a sole body. The study of causes and effects of this is called Electrostatics.
Why charges are not moving in electrostatics?
It is because electrostatics mean the charges which are static and not in motion.
What does current mean in science?
It is probably used in the sense that current electricity is the opposite of static electricity. Current is a measure of the movement of electric charges, while in static electricity the charges do not move much.
What are the devices that are static electricity?
If you mean the name of the machine used to create static electricity - it's called a 'van de graaff' generator.
Does water affect static electricity?
Generally increased humidity decreases static electricity bucause water molacules allow the discharge of free electrons. To illustrate this try rubbing a ballon on your hair when it's dry and then again when it's damp.
What does the antistatic mean?
reduce or eliminate buildup of static electricity
What kind of energy is stored in a girls hairband?
i think you mean static electricity?
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.
Statis electricity is a kind of electricity What is this electricity type?
To whom it may concern, Did you mean to ask what is static electricity?? If so the term static, which means stays the same, means the electricity in a circuit is static; it does not change direction and electrons only have 1 path to travel. An example of a static circuit would be a DC ( Direct Current) circuit, whereas an AC circuit; alternating current, alternates between 120v to 0v, then 0 to negative 120, back to 0v, then to positive 120v, however, this happens at so fast you would never catch a reading on a multi meter.
