What does static in static electricity mean?

Everything is made up of atoms and they hold electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons can move. Static electricity is the presence of either too many electrons (negative charge) or too few electrons (positive charge). The movement of static electricity ... normally called an "electric current" ... is the flow of electrons from one place to another.


Is static electricity a charge?

Static charge mean "Charges at rest". And at rest, any charge can have its electric field, but its meg.field is always zero at rest.

What does static electricity mean?

It is electricity that does not include rapid movement of the electrons, i.e. electric current. Static electricity refers to steady gathering of positive and negative charges in two nearby bodies or in opposite zones of a sole body. The study of causes and effects of this is called Electrostatics.


Does water affect static electricity?

Generally increased humidity decreases static electricity bucause water molacules allow the discharge of free electrons. To illustrate this try rubbing a ballon on your hair when it's dry and then again when it's damp.


Does static electricity mean that the charges never move?

No, electricity always involves the movement of electrons. Static electricity is built up through friction or rubbing electrons off of other substances, so the electrons didnt get there by a current. But when a circuit is completed, the electrons can move to create an equilibrium.
