Similarities between between static electricity and current electricity?
they both transfer electric charges. they both work with conductors and insulators. they both build up charges. they are both a form of electricity.
Does static electricity have negative electrons?
yes it contains both positive and negative
Is static electricity experiments the same as electricity experiment?
They are both dealing with electricity, so yes. 'static' electricity is mearely a categorization of electric phenomena. The best I've seen it dealt with is here: http://amasci.com/emotor/stmiscon.html#one
How is lightning a form of static electricity?
Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. protons, and electrons
Rubbing a plastic comb with wool will produce more static electricity than rubbing a metal spoon with wool why is this?
This has to do with the transfer of electrons from one material to another through the contact of the materials. The transfer of electrons is static electricity, and because some materials have a higher tendency to gain or lost electrons than others, more or less static electricity is produced. Wool has a tendency to gain electrons. Both metal and plastic lose electrons; however, plastic has a far higher tendency to lose electrons than does metal. This is shown on the triboelectric series, a chart showing the relative tendencies of various materials to transfer electrons. Because plastic will lose more electrons to the wool than the metal will, more static electricity is produced.
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
They both cause by electrical charge
Why can't electricity flow through coin?
It can.Electricity, both static and current, flows through coins quite easily.
How does lightning realate to electricity?
Well i don't know about electricity but i know about static electricity. Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. When static electricity moves, it is a current. When static electricity in clouds discharges to earth there is a huge, very short current pulse (surge).
What are two ways how static and current electricity are similar?
They're both science.

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.
How does static electricity relate to friction?
They both involve scraping!
What do fuel cells batteries and solar cells have in common?
They all produce static electricity.
Are static charges accumulate both on good and poor conductors of electricity?
Static charges are accumulated generally on insulators.
Does static electricity have negative electrons?
yes it contains both positive and negative

The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another called?
Electric discharge, is the word that makes this statement.
