Similarities between between static electricity and current electricity?

Answer 1

they both transfer electric charges.

they both work with conductors and insulators.

they both build up charges.

they are both a form of electricity.

Answer 2

Static elecricity is when two things rub together, and one of the materials picks up negatively charged electrons- making the item that has picked up elecrons negative, and the other one positive. This charge does not move easily, or through wires etc.

The electriciy used to turn lights on etc is current electricity, where a power cource eg. a battery provides a current to "push" the charge around a circuit.

Both have charges, but that is pretty much where the similarities end

Answer 3

"Static electricity" is used to desribe a charged object similar to rubbing a piece of cloth on plastic. Current electricity is when electrons move with a current (amps) because they are pushed by a voltage.

Answer 4

Have a charge (volt). However, staic has no amperes, where current electricity has...

Answer 5

it is similar because the electrons in the electricity travels around and even in the static electricity

Answer 6

• Transfer electric charges
• Work with conductors and insulators
• buildup charges

Answer 7

static electricity is a thing and current electricity is a thing too.

Answer 8

The main difference between static and current electricity is that the term static electricity refers to situations where there is an excess of charges in a region without there being a net flow of charge, whereas current electricity refers to cases where there is a net flow of charge in response to a potential difference
