it is the rate at which electric charges pass though a conductor. The charged particle can be either positive or negative.

In order for a charge to flow, it needs a push (a force) and it is supplied by voltage, or potential difference. The charge flows from high potential energy to low potential energy.

What kind of electricity is static electricity?

Static electricity is a stationary electric charge produced by the accumulation of excess electrons on an object's surface. It is different from current electricity, which is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity is commonly generated by friction between two objects.


What Electricity is defined as the flow of what?

Electricity is defined as the flow of electric charge. In most cases, this flow is facilitated by the movement of electrons through a conductive material.


Why does electricity prefer to flow towards the ground?

Electricity flows towards the ground because the Earth is a good conductor of electricity. When there is a difference in electrical charge between a high point and the ground, the electricity will flow towards the ground to balance out the charge.


What is electricity that does not flow called?

Electricity that does not flow is called static electricity. It is the accumulation of electric charge on an object's surface and it remains in one place until it is discharged.


What word means a flow of charge?

electric current


What is the example of electricity?

The flow of electrons or the existence of a static charge.


How is current and static electricity different?

Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, while static electricity is a build-up of electric charge on the surface of an object. Current electricity is continuous and flows in a circuit, while static electricity does not flow and remains stationary until discharged.


Is electricity same to lighting?

When did you refer to electricity as current?

Current is the rate of flow of electric charge.


How are electricity and static electricity different?

none, except:static electricity is electric charge without current flow, usually induced by friction between two different insulating materials.dynamic electricity is electric charge with current flow.when static electricity is discharged it is no longer static, as there is current flow during the discharge.


Can you put electricity in a jar?

No, electricity cannot be put in a jar. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it requires a complete circuit to flow. You can store electrical energy in a battery or capacitor, but you cannot store the flow of electricity itself in a jar.
