Static electricity, such as might build up in your carpet, can best be described as voltage. "moving" electricity is current, which is measured in Amps. I'll skip the math and Ohm's law, and try to give a conceptual answer. If you think of an electric circuit as being a set of water pipes in which the electricity is the water, then voltage is the water pressure and amperage is the rate at which the water is flowing. If the water is flowing through a pipe that does not restrict it, then the amount of water flowing is directly proportional to the water pressure. however, if the pipe resists the movement of the water, then the water flow slows down and the water pressure increases. Conversely, if the pipe exhibits less resistance, then the water pressure drops again and the water flow increases. This analogy gives a basic idea of the difference between static and moving electricity, but it is overly simplified and skips some important concepts. If you've taken physics, you can also think of voltage as being potential energy, current as being kinetic, and resistance as being friction.

Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
What causes static build up on moving vehicles?
The static build up on moving vehicles is caused by the friction between the moving vehicle and air. This works best on dry days.
What is the general difference between a static IP and a dynamic IP?
The general difference between a static IP and dynamic IP is that a static IP is reserved and does not change. A dynamic IP on the other hand changes each time one logs on.
What is static elecricity?
Static electricity is1) an accumulation of electric charge on an insulated body2) electric discharge resulting from the accumulation of electric charge on an insulated bodystatic-electricity
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?
Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity involves stationary charges, whereas current electricity involves moving charges. When static electricity is discharged, it can create a current flow.
What is the difference between static and electricity?
Static is electricity. It's just not all neatly contained in a wire.
What is the difference between static electricity and static discharge?

What is the relationship between static electricity and voltage?
Static electricity is a buildup of electric charge on an object, while voltage is the measure of electric potential difference between two points. The relationship between static electricity and voltage is that static electricity can create a voltage difference when there is a buildup of charge, leading to the potential for electrical discharge or sparks.
What is the difference between spark and static?
Static is the name of an electricity, a spark is like the outcome of friction. Like, you can use static electricity to make a spark.
What is the difference between static charge and static electricity?
Static charge refers to the imbalance of electric charges on an object's surface, while static electricity is the result of the buildup of this static charge. Static electricity can manifest as phenomena such as sparks or shocks when the charges are discharged.
Is static electricity moving?
No, static electricity is stationary charges that are not moving. This type of electricity builds up on the surface of an object and can discharge when it comes into contact with a conductor.
How does a Van de Graaff generator work to generate static electricity?
A Van de Graaff generator works by using a moving belt to transfer electric charge to a metal dome. This creates a high voltage difference between the dome and the base, generating static electricity.
What kind of electricity is electrons that are not moving?
Static
Difference between static electricity and dynamic electricity?
There are two types of electricity; dynamic and static electricity. The main difference between these two types is that in static electricity, the electrons do not move but in dynamic electricity, the electrons move either in changing directions or in one direction.
What is static electricity measured in?
I believe it is measured in watts. Static electricity is measured in volts. Most static electricity discharges are measured in Kilovolts. Lightning is measures in Megavolts.
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
