One technological use of static electricity is in car painting, where the spray nozzle is connected to a negative electrode. The car part is charged with opposite charge, where the paint droplets are attracted to the car body part.
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...
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
When static electricity is discharged in the air, it can produce a visible spark or a crackling sound. This occurs as the built-up electric charge is neutralized by moving from one object to another, usually through the air.
Current electricity- is powered by things like power plants, wind mills, solar energy, and burning fossil fuels. Current electricity is used to power things like light bulbs, televisions, and kitchen products. Static Electricity- is powered by electrons moving from one thing to another and there is not enough power to power things we use everyday.
Electricity has always existed. No one invented or created it. And since people have known about lightning and static electricity since time immemorial, it would be hard to say when it was first discovered.
Static electricity is used to describe electricity that does not flow but remains in one place. It occurs when there is an imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object.
There is one that I know of. It is Plasma static electricity
Static electricity
One example of static electricity is when you drag your feet across the floor and then shock someone. The shock is the static electricity.

Static is one type
Static electricity is the BUILT UP STORE of electron charges [e-] between a pair of objects, while current electricity is the FLOW of electrons between these objects. Static electricity is a transfer of charge from one static body to another, resulting in an imbalance in positive and negative charges, while electric current is the flow of electrons, from one static body to another.
One solution for controlling static electricity is to use anti-static products or materials, such as anti-static sprays or mats. These products help to neutralize or dissipate the build-up of static charges, reducing the likelihood of static electricity discharge. Additionally, maintaining proper humidity levels in the environment can also help to control static electricity.
One such form is lightning
Yes, static electricity is often generated through friction. When two objects rub against each other, electrons can transfer from one object to another, causing one to become positively charged and the other negatively charged, leading to the buildup of static electricity.
