Static electricity has no charge. This means that it doesn't move. The electrons in the wire that are pumped around the circuit by the battery do move and thus have charge. You can only use power that has a charge or "moves".

What is a charge in a battery not an example of static electricity?

A charge in a battery is not an example of static electricity because it involves a flow of electrons through a circuit to generate a current, whereas static electricity is the accumulation of electric charges on the surface of an object. Battery charges result from chemical reactions within the battery that create a potential difference between the positive and negative terminals, allowing for the transfer of energy in the form of electricity.


What kind of electricity is lightning?

static electricity


How is AC electricity different from static electricity?

AC (alternating current) electricity constantly changes direction and magnitude in a circuit, typically in a sine wave pattern. Static electricity, on the other hand, refers to an imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object. AC electricity is used for powering devices and transmitting electricity over long distances, while static electricity is typically seen in everyday scenarios like when you rub a balloon on your hair.


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 kind of energy do you experience when you get shocked from a metal doorknob?

When you get shocked from a metal doorknob, you are experiencing static electricity. This occurs when an imbalance of electric charges builds up on the doorknob and your body, and discharges when you touch the doorknob.

Why do you use the word static to describe static electricity?

Static means it doesn't move. This is essentially what static electricity is, a charge tht has no current. It is made by the transfer of electrons, as a pose to a cell or battery.

How can you use static charges and static elec to generate EMF or elec current?

Static charge and static electricity are 2 different terms for the same thing. Static electricity is voltage without current, usually created by friction. Voltage and EMF are 2 different terms for the same thing. When static electricity generates current, it is called a discharge and the static electricity ceases to exist. It has been discharged.


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.
