There are two main types of electricity - static and current.
Static electricity is created through friction and current
electricity relies on the constant flow of electric charge
through an electric field.This means that static electricity
is created through the build up of electric charge in one place while
current electricity is the constant flow of electrons
along a conductor from one place to another.
Static electricity is present when you create friction by rubbing
an object against another. For example, rubbing a balloon
on your jumper. Because they rub together one object gains
a build up of opposite electric charge.
Current electricity is used in every day appliances.
Another example of an electric current is a lightning bolt
because it moves from one place to another.
