Static and Current Electricity

Introduction :

The two basic kind of electricity that exist in nature are:  the static electricity and the current electricity.Static electricity is nothing but the collection of uncontrolled electrons which are passing from one body to another body in a movement which is sudden or momentary. Whenever the motion of the electron along a path is a controlled motion then the electricity so produced in the system or circuit is the current electricity.

Examples of static and current electricity

The examples of static electricity:

    The clothes taken out from the dryer and they are stick together

    One can get a shock after walking on the carpet and then suddenly touching something.

The static electricity is generally a nuisance and the hazards of static electricity include the cause of fire. The example of static electricity in which it is produced by rubbing the balloon with the hairs.

Static electricity

Example of current electricity:

The path used in the case of the current electricity is generally a conductor of electricity like a copper wire which can move the electricity from the power plant to the households

Current electricity

Application of Static and Current Electricity

The current electricity is obtained in case when a plug is inserted in a socket, which is generally seen in our homes and this electricity is used to power up the systems like the stereo and the lights. The current electricity is the flow of billions of electrons through the circuit and this flow of electron make a wave of electron which has a voltage of about 120 V. The flow of the current electricity in a system can be taken as the pushing of the electrons through the system through a wire and on the wall on which the socket of electricity is located.

On the other hand, the static electricity occurs only when some of the electrons of a neutral material are moved from their present location to some other location and hence give rise to the electricity and the motion of electron is due to some unknown causes and this electricity is not generally observed. In case of the static electricity no new electron is involved to produce electricity only those electrons which are already there are undergoes some changes hence produces electricity.
