What is constrast static electricity?

Answer 1

Electrical current is the flow of electrons.

"Static electricity" is more accurately called "static charge". It refers to the build up of a surplus of free electrons on a body (negative charge) , or the withdrawl of free electrons (positive charge). As the word "static" means, these charges are not moving, but are held stationary on the body.

The measure of charge is the coulomb, which is 1.24 x 1018 electrons.

If a charge is moving along a conductor, always from negative to positive, this flow of electrons is referred to as "current". The basic unit of current, is the amp. 1 amp is charge flowing at the rate of 1 coulomb per second.

Answer 2

Static electricity is an electric charge that is at rest, often generated by friction between materials. Contrastingly, current electricity involves the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically in a closed circuit. Static electricity does not flow like current electricity does.

Answer 3

Static Electricity is Static Electricity, "Compare and 'Contrast static electricity' and current electricity" is a relevant question.

Answer 4

Static electricity is a result of an object being charged and electric current is by passing magnets over copper wire.
