1 . The main difference between static electricity and current electricity is that static electricity involves charges that are at rest, while current electricity involves electrons that are moving .

2. Electrons play a key role in the buildup of static electricity by moving from one atom to another when two objects come into contact and separate .

3 . Static electricity can build very quickly to a high enough voltage to cause a spark in busy environments.

4. Humidify the Air. The drier the air, the greater the opportunity for static electrical 1.build-up. ...

2. Wear Natural Fibers .

3. Use Anti-Static Hand Lotion. ...

4. Go Barefoot. ...

5. Purchase Ant-Static Mats & Products.

the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object.
Static electricity can ignite flammable gases, vapors, or dust in environments like fuel stations or chemical plants, potentially causing dangerous fires or explosions.
