Since metals are conducting surfaces, they are terrible for conducting static electricity.
Anti-static wrist bands or anklets help ground a person and divert static electricity. This is useful when a person works in demolition. A spark can ignite plastic explosives, and the anti-static wrist bands greatly reduce the likelihood that static electricity would detonate the materials prematurely.
yes, if you had enough static electricity
Technically, static electricity IS captured electricity. Thus the term "static". If you wanted to capture it, all you would have to do is keep building it up.
Yes, because we would have no electricity if we didn't.

Another form of static elecricity would be... lightning.
I would suggest "shocking science" as a title for a project about static electricity.
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...
The copper penny might get cleaner. If it were a rubber penny, then you would get static electricity.
That would be static electricity.
A little but if this was homework the basic answer would NO
opposite electric charge
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).
