STATIC ELECTRICITY
When electricity is at rest, it is called static electricity. It refers to the electric charges that build up on the surface of materials or substances. These so-called static charges remain until they are grounded, or discharged.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STATIC ELECTRICITY AND CURRENT ELECTRICITY:
1. Static electricity is caused by the build up of electrical charges on the surface of objects, while current electricity is a phenomenon from the flow of electrons along a conductor.
2. When objects are rubbed, a loss and/or gain of electrons occurs, which results in the phenomenon of static electricity.
3. Current electricity is normally controlled, and it is the more used phenomenon of electricity, in countless applications.
4. Static electricity is usually uncontrolled, and just happens sporadically.
5. Current electricity is generated by batteries and power plants.
