grid current (the electricity mains) is *AC (alternating Current, The voltage follows a sinus curve going from (here in Europe) 240 V to -240 V and back fifty times second.
The current from a battery (like from my car battery (actually a lead acid accumulator) is DC mine is 12 V. There are batteries in many sizes for many different uses.
I can pull more amperage from my car battery (during a few seconds) than I can from my wall socket!

The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?
In current electricity we discuss moving charges while stationary charges are studied in static electricity.
How the flow of electricity differs in a battery from the type of current in a home?
well a battery is a direct current and the currents that move in house wires is converted to direct currents.
What is difference between positive current and negative current which current is used for generation of electricity?
Positive and negative are just directions. In AC the current changes direction 60 times a second. It is all the same.
What does a battery use to produce electricity?
a battery has potential ( voltage). without a circuit atatched to it nothing happens. But when used in an electic ciruit, like with a light bulb, current will flow(amps). current flow is what causes your light bulb to light. A battery has the pressure (voltage) so to speak to cause current flow. Generally, current flows from negative to positive ina complete circuit.
What is the difference of static electricity and current electricity?
Current electricity requires an energy source, it would not flow unless there is a complete circuit to flow through continuously and it only flow through conductors where as static electricity does not require all of these. Static electricity can have extra protons or electrons and there foe can be either positively or negatively charged. Current electricity is simply the flow of electrons(negative).
What is the difference bt current electricity and electro dynamics?
current electricity =battery , wire electro dynamics = motor , generator , speaker
What is difference between battery and mains electricity?
Mains supply provides alternative current while battery provides direct current.
What is alternate current and direct current difference between?
Alternating Current (AC) is the type of electricity typically used in households. With AC, the magnitude and direction of electricity vary. Direct current (DC) is a source of electricity that does not vary in direction. An example of a DC source is a battery, or solar cells. The main difference between the two types of currents is simply the direction, as made quite clear by the names: AC = varied direction and magnitude where as DC = continuous current. Alternate current cannot stored but direct current can be stored examples in case of battery cells
What is the difference between objects that use electricity from power stations and those that use electricity from batteries?
Technically, you are speaking about the delivery of current. Electricity is one type of current. The current has two differences: The current from batteries has a much lower voltage, and it is DC, while the electricity from the electrical plug is AC. Devices that use current have to be adapted to these two situations. Some devices are only battery powered, e.g. flashlight. Other devices have internal mechanisms to switch the power current between battery and electrical outlet, e.g. a laptop.
The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?
In current electricity we discuss moving charges while stationary charges are studied in static electricity.
What is the difference between current electricity and charge separation?
I have not found the answer to this question.
What is the difference between the current and electricity?
Current specifically refers to the movement electrons through an electric conductor. Electricity is a more general term.
What is the batery's power?
The power of a battery is typically measured in voltage (V) and current (A). The voltage represents the electrical potential difference between the positive and negative terminals, while the current represents the rate of flow of electricity. The power output of a battery is the product of voltage and current (P = V x I).
Can electricity flow without a battery?
i think current cannot pass without battery.
Whart type of electricity a battery produce?
direct current
What are some real life examples of current electricity?
battery
Charge of current in electricity?
charge in electricity is an form of electricity, and dicribes the symbools such as plus and minus in the battery as it is charged.
