Is the flow of electrons is called electric current?

Answer 1

1. static electricity- a kind of electricity produced by rubbing 2 different materials together to create friction/heat which makes static electricity.
2. current electricity- a kind of electricity that has continuous movement of electrons

Answer 2

The flow of electrons is called "current", just like the flow of water in a river.

The word "static" means unmoving or stationary. A static charge, therefore is a charge that is not moving.

Please note that the more accurate term is "static charge", which means a stationary surplus or deficiency of electrons on a charged body.

Answer 3

Static electricity "jumps" (discharges) to get from one object to another, but current electricity goes through an object to get from one object to another.

Another Answer:

There is only really one kind of electricity, and that is a differential charge between protons and electrons. Static electricity, per se, is simply a differential charge between two points, while current electricity is a flow of charge between two points.

Answer 4

No. A flow of charges is called a current. It is measures in coulombs per second or amperes.

Answer 5

Yes, but an electric current can also be the flow of other charged particles or pseudo-particles, such as holes, ions, etc.
