How does current electricity differ from static electricity?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Static electricity is a form of electricity in which is built up.Current electricity to is a form of electricity in which is built up.

Electrons dONT MOVE IN STATIC. electons DO MOVE IN CURRENT
static electricity is similar to current electricity in that they are both caused by an imbalance of electrical charge. For example, a battery has an excess of electrons (negative charge) on the negative electrode, while the positive electode is lacking electrons (positive charge), as we know opposites attract, so when these two electrodes are connected via a conductor the positive electrode attracts the electrons from the negative electrode. this is refered to as CURRENT flow. Static merely means unchanging, so static electriciy is when a surface or material collects an excess of electrons creating a charge difference, but the electrons are stationary in that they are not constantly flowing to cancel out the charge difference.

Answer 3

It doesn't

[mec3usa]: electric current describes moving electric charges in a medium. Static electricity, as it says, describes immobile electric charges on insulating surfaces. When a charged insulating surface (your hand after walking on dry carpet) is close enough to a conductor of a different electric potential (door knob), charges will jump the gap; that jumping is an electric current. A controlled current (in an electric circuit) is a lot more useful than that electrostatic discharge.

Answer 4

Static electricity is a form of electricity that does not flow: it is electricity at rest. Objects carry positive electric charges when some of their atoms have fewer electrons than they should, and they carry negative electric charges when some of the atoms have more electrons than they should. An easy way to produce static electricity is to rub two objects (made of certain materials) together: this transfers electrons from one item to another, giving each a positive or negative charge. Positively and negatively charged objects are attracted to each other like magnets-because each wants to shed or acquire electrons. When static electricity becomes powerful enough, so many electrons jump from one thing to another that they cause a visible electric spark, which you will feel as a little "shock" if one of the things the electrons jump to you! (Loose electrons can attach to atoms in the surface of your skin.) Lightning, in fact, is really just a giant spark that results when static electricity builds up in a cloud during a thunderstorm.
