They are both dealing with electricity, so yes. 'static' electricity is mearely a categorization of electric phenomena. The best I've seen it dealt with is here: http://amasci.com/emotor/stmiscon.html#one

How is static electricity the same as current electricity?

Static electricity and current electricity both involve the movement of electric charges. However, in static electricity, charges build up on an object and remain stationary, while in current electricity, charges flow in a continuous path. Both types of electricity can cause sparks or shocks when discharged.


Is Electrostatic force and Static Electricity the same force?

Electrostatic force is the force of attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects, while static electricity refers to the imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object. Static electricity can be a result of the effects of the electrostatic force. Essentially, static electricity is the result of the imbalance of charges that creates the electrostatic force.


How do you water bend with static electricity?

Water bending with static electricity is not possible as water bending is a fictional ability from the animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and static electricity is a real-world phenomenon related to electric charge imbalance. They are two separate concepts that do not interact in the same way.


Is current electricity the same as static electricity?

No, current electricity involves the flow of electrons through a conductor, such as in a wire. Static electricity, on the other hand, is the imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object, leading to a buildup of charge that can discharge as a spark.


What is the result as static electricity charges move off an object?

As static electricity charges move off an object through a discharge, the object then becomes the same potential as the surrounding objects in the area.

How is current electricity the same as static electricity?

It isn't the same. Static electricity is created by friction between two objects, and current electricity is a flow of continuos movement of electrons. Hope this helps!


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.


What did Benjamin Franklin prove?

Benjamin Franklin's experiments with lightning and electricity proved that lightning is electricity and that lightning rods can protect buildings from lightning strikes. His kite experiment demonstrated the connection between lightning and electricity.

How can a scientific theory be changed by experiment?

Yes, it can if the experiments can add more data to make a real change. You would have to have others do the same experiments and agree with you.

Why is static more noticeable in winter than in the summer?

For the same reason that static electricity is; colder air is dryer, and more conducive to stasis.
