Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
Electricity is the flow of electrons
No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles to which the flow of electricity is attributed.
Flowing electrons makes electricity (they flow from negative to positive. ). You need a circuit or a path for the electrons to move through, a power source like a battery or a generator, and something to use the electricity, like a light bulb...

It doesn't differ at all, an electric current is electricity that is moving in a current and when static electricity is discharged from an object it creates a current from one object to another
A static discharge is a sudden, brief flow of electricity between two objects with different electrical charges, often caused by friction or contact. It differs from an electric current, which is a continuous flow of electric charge through a conductor.
A static discharge is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electric potential, whereas an electric current is a continuous flow of electric charge in a closed circuit. Static discharge occurs due to a build-up of static electricity, while electric current flows due to an applied voltage.
False. Static charges do not flow continuously. They accumulate on surfaces and can discharge in the form of sparks or other types of discharge when the conditions are right.
Certainly. Electricity is the flow of electrons, either continuously or from a quick discharge. Static machines usually produce continuous sparks. ( Wikipedia.org/whimshurst or Wikipedia.org/vandegraaf .)
Static charge
The loss of static electricity is called "discharge." This occurs when excess electric charge on an object is neutralized by transferring electrons to or from another object.
Sparks! And when the distance is large enough, lightning!
Static electricity exists when there is an imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object. This imbalance occurs when electrons are rubbed off one material onto another, creating a build-up of static charge. When these charged objects come in contact with each other or with a conductor, the electrons can flow, resulting in a static electricity discharge.
When static electricity is discharged, the excess electrons stored on an object are released, causing a flow of current. This discharge can result in a spark, heat, or a mild shock. The process equalizes the charge between objects and reduces the imbalance of electrons.
