Static Electricity is very useful in many things we use in our everyday life. For instance, Photocopiers use static electricity to give the image or text a charge. The toner and the image have opposite charges because opposite charges attract. Static Electricity is also used in the ink. It makes the ink attracted to the places in which the information we need to be printed on the paper not where its supposed to stay white.
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.
It can be bent, and it conducts electricity.
step up transformer output gives the high voltage which is useful for transmiission of electricity
About as dangerous as a kitchen knife. Both are very useful, but in inexperienced hands, or used carelessly, can kill you or someone else. Bottom line - If you are going to work around electricity, get the proper training! If you are using electric appliances, read, understand, and follow the instructions.
You can move things with static electricity!
Static electricity is useful in several ways. It causes attraction between particles, which makes it useful in air pollution control and photocopier technology.
Some useful electrostatic charges are; static electricity, and full electricity
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.

The LEAST useful form of energy is Static Electricity however it to still find some uses.
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")
static eletricty is useful in several ways.It causes attractin between particles,which makes it useful in air pollution control.
Anti-static wrist bands or anklets help ground a person and divert static electricity. This is useful when a person works in demolition. A spark can ignite plastic explosives, and the anti-static wrist bands greatly reduce the likelihood that static electricity would detonate the materials prematurely.
Because it can cause things to ignite.
Filters inside industrial cooling towers use static to ionise harmful particles in exhaust smoke and thus prevent them from being released into the environment.
Yes, you can flash a fluorescent tube with static electricity. Once the static potential difference is equalized the tube will go out. <<>> Static electricity is discharged with a spark in a fraction of a second. Florescent bulbs stay on for long periods of time. Perhaps it could operate a strobe light one time every few minutes. A strobe light does not provide enough light to be useful for anything except photography and dancing at a club!
