Where electric current is present, electrons are flowing
from one place to another.
Where static electricity is present, electrons are just
sitting there in a pile.

Do you use static electricity in your homes or current electricity?
electric current (alternating)
How does a static discharge differ from an electric current?
It doesn't differ at all, an electric current is electricity that is moving in a current and when static electricity is discharged from an object it creates a current from one object to another

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.
Why static electricity don't have electric charge?
Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.
What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two types are "static electricity" and "current electricity."
How is static electricity differes from current electricity?
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.
Is static electricity is an excess of neutrons?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.

Is lightning a current or static electricity?
static electricity
How is static different from electrical energy current?
Electric current is generated at a specific frequency for specific uses. Static electricity is usually a random discharge from one potential point to another.
