The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge.
The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...

What force is related to or caused by electric charges that do not move?
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
They both cause by electrical charge
What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two types are "static electricity" and "current electricity."
How are electricity static electricity and magnetism related?
well in simple terms a static electricity is charge, which is a basic quality of matter , in fact it is as basic as mass. Now, a charge in motion is a current or in other words electricity. And magnetism is a result of the motion of charge. so in a way these all three are related.
Is electrostatic charge and static electricity the same thing?
Yes. They stand for the same
What is an antistatic property?
the fast dissipation of static electricity (static charge).
Why static electricity don't have electric charge?
Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
What property does a plastic have that makes it possible to give it static charge?
It's a non-conductor (of electricity).
Why is static electricity considered to be a charge and not a current?
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.
What is the difference between static charge and static electricity?
in my own explanation static charge is a reaction between the (+)protons and (-)electrons an the effect of this reaction is called static electricity.
The buildup of charges on an object is called?
It is static electricity or in other words just static, or just a static charge.
The loss of static electricity as a charge move off an object?
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.
Does static electricity electrical charges that are not in motion?
Yes, static electricity is the study of charge in rest
What electricity is a build up of a charge on an object?
Static electricity.
What kind of electricity is static electricity?
Charge (electrons) that do not flow.
What is a charge in a battery not an example of static electricity?
Because it has no charge
