The current is the amount of charges flowing at a time. It is determined by the rate at which the charges are flowing in that particular time. This is also known as the current.
However, static means that the charges are in a state of rest. They don’t move. Why is static electricity called that? They are also called current if the charges move. Consider analogies such as being electrocuted by carpets, charged metals, or circuit boards. These analogies show that charges are static, meaning they don’t move. The total charge of all the charges in the system is the algebraic sum. However, when we touch a charged system, our potential is lower than that of the system. In order to maintain nature’s equilibrium, charges flow from the system to the body. When we touch charged bodies, we feel a surge. This is known as static electricity. Charges are static when they come in contact with a lower potential body. It is important to earth circuit boards to prevent a shock.
