this is short:
is electrostatic just electricity that isn't moving and electricity is electricity moving?

thanx :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
more specifically, Static electricity is a charge that isn't moving and electricity is a charge that is moving.

You got the right idea. It's just that, to say "electricity is electricity moving" is a little... weird.
 
thanx. yea its a little weird
