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 static electricity the same as current electricity?
It isn't the same. Static electricity is created by friction between two objects, and current electricity is a flow of continuos movement of electrons. Hope this helps!
Is current electricity the same as static electricity?
NO static is a positive charge and grid(current/power) is a negative charge because of the electrons and static stays in 1 place where as current always whants to move
Is static electricity a form of potential electrical energy?
Yes. Much in the same way that a stretched rubberband has potential energy.
What is the result as static electricity charges move off an object?
As static electricity charges move off an object through a discharge, the object then becomes the same potential as the surrounding objects in the area.
How does one produce static electricity?
When the air is dry static electricity is more enhanced and noticeable than when the air is humid. Things with the same charge repel each other. You can produce static electricity by rubbing a balloon in your hair. It will cause your hair to stand up and the balloon will be able to stick to a wall. Also if you have on rubber sole shoes and you drag them along a carpet the first person you touch will be shocked by static electricity.

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.
Is electrostatic charge and static electricity the same thing?
Yes. They stand for the same
Why is current electricity more useful than static electricity?
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")
What can static electricity push?
anything having the same polarity of charge.
Is current electricity the same as static electricity?
NO static is a positive charge and grid(current/power) is a negative charge because of the electrons and static stays in 1 place where as current always whants to move
How is lighting related to static electricity?
Of cours they are the same because both of them have the same type of energy
Do different types of hair carry different types of electricity?
No, static electricity is the same on any type of hair.
The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another called?
Electric discharge, is the word that makes this statement.
Is static electricity a form of potential electrical energy?
Yes. Much in the same way that a stretched rubberband has potential energy.
How can a scientific theory be changed by experiment?
Yes, it can if the experiments can add more data to make a real change. You would have to have others do the same experiments and agree with you.
