Question

give some examples of static electricity in everyday life. ls static electricity different from regular electricity?​

Answer 1

Some examples might include: walking across a carpet and touching a metal door handle and pulling your hat off and having your hair stand on end.) When is there a positive charge? (A positive charge occurs when there is a shortage of electrons).

• if we count 3 seconds, the lightning struck 900 metres away. Lightning is basically static electricity caused by huge concentrations of raindrops rubbing against each other high up in the sky.

The most significant difference between the static and current electricity is that in static electricity the charges are at rest and they are accumulating on the surface of the insulator. Whereas in current electricity the electrons are moving inside the conductor.
