Want this question answered?
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.
The two types are "static electricity" and "current electricity."
static electricity
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
As the word static means motionless or stationary, the static electricity refers to electrons that are stationary. Hence, static electricity is a charge and not a current.
AC specifies alternating current and DC means direct current.
current x
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
It is static electricity
static
In current electricity we discuss moving charges while stationary charges are studied in static electricity.
current <<>> The movement of static electricity into an object called a static discharge.
