"Discharge" means that electrical current is flowing from one place to another, reducing the remaining charge.

What is the difference between magnets and electromagnet?
an electromagnet is a magnet which is activated by electricity and it ceases to be a magnet once the electric supply is stopped whereas a magnet is a natural magnet which does not need electricity and continues to be a magnet whether it is supplied by electricity or not.
Does static electricity light up in the dark?
Yes, it actually does so very often. It is called lightening. Lightning is a static discharge. Additionally, if you have ever run an electric generator without correctly grounding it, you may see a static discharge between it and a grounded object. If this occurs at night, it will be very bright.
What is lightening electricity?
Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric chargesin the atmosphere, and resulting in a strike, from a cloud to itself, a cloud to a cloud or a cloud to ground, and accompanied by the loud sound of thunder.
What is the material between two charged bodies that prevents the discharge of electricity from one body to the other?
An insulator
Is electric spark possible in space?
It is not possible to have an electric discharge in space. you would only be able to have a spark if there was some sort of gas for the electricity to flow through and since in space there is no air, you could not have a spark.
The spark that jumps between the hand and the doorknob is an example of?
an electric discharge ******************* Static electricity.
What is the essential difference between an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar?

Explain why an electric discharge occurs?
Because there is a potential difference between two objects.
What is the difference between electrocution and electric shock?
Electrocution is death by electricity and an electric shock in non-fatal.
An electric discharge between two oppositely charged surfaces called what?
You have a spark jumping the gap between the surfaces.......
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.
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 difference between magnetic circuit and electric circuit?
magnetic circit has a magnet and electri circuit has electricity
What is the difference between pneumatic tools and electric tools?
It is how they are powered. Electric tools are powered by electricity and pneumatic tools are powered by forced air.

What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?
The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.
