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

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.

Static electricity is electricity at rest. true of false?

The statement is not correct. Electricity is generated by the movement of the charges. So if the charges are static, i.e if they do not change their position then how electricity/current will be produced.


How can one create static electricity through the use of friction?

You generate static electricity when you move one object against another. This movement causes friction, which releases a negative charge. Then you suddenly release these electrons causing a shock, e.g. touching someone.
