I think what you're asking are "do appliances run on current (AC, DC) or static electricity.

The answer is: current, of course! That's what's generated by your household plug. Static electricity is really just a difference in charges being discharged by contact, be it direct (your hand to your car) or indirect (as in, through the air).

Do you use static electricity in your homes or current electricity?

Current electricity is typically used in homes because it is more reliable and can provide a constant flow of energy. Static electricity, on the other hand, is not commonly used in household applications due to its unpredictable nature and limited usefulness for powering appliances or devices.

What are the two basic types of electricity?

The two basic types of electricity are static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity involves the build-up of charge on an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.


What are the five types of electricity?

AC specifies alternating current and DC means direct current.


Why you can not use this pointer in static functions?

Because this points to the current object, but static methods don't have a current object (actually this is definition of the static methods).


Why is grounding necessary in areas which can produce electro static discharge?

To carry the static charges straight down to earth thus safeguarding your appliances.


Which is more useful static or current electricity?

It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.


A static shock is caused by?

You get static shock when the air is dry, mostly during the winter. Electrical currents run through your fingers, and when you touch something, all the current rush to the thing you touched, causing a shock. Static current developed in any device can cause a static shock. Static current if discharged by direct human touch can cause damage to electronic devices.


How can you use static charges and static elec to generate EMF or elec current?

Static charge and static electricity are 2 different terms for the same thing. Static electricity is voltage without current, usually created by friction. Voltage and EMF are 2 different terms for the same thing. When static electricity generates current, it is called a discharge and the static electricity ceases to exist. It has been discharged.


How does static electric differ from current electric?

Static electricity is a charge that is stored in a medium until it finds a way to discharge itself to a ground source .. scuffing your feet on a rug , socks help , will build a charge in you until you touch something ,, brother, door knob , lightening is a static charge, a capacitor uses a static charge Electric current is a constant flow of electricity from one place, a source thru a circuit and back to the source .. a battery is made to cause this flow thru chemical action .. the power in your house has various circuits that carry the electrical current flow thru the devices and appliances in your home


Why does adding more appliances to a circuit increase the current?

More appliances means more load are being added, which necessariliy increases the current.


The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity involves stationary charges, whereas current electricity involves moving charges. When static electricity is discharged, it can create a current flow.
