What term is used to describe electricity that is not in motion?

Current
Static
Dynamic
Active

The correct answer is: Static

The term that describes electricity not in motion is "static." This concept refers to the accumulation of electric charge on an object, which does not necessarily flow but can create an electric field. Static electricity is commonly observed when two materials are rubbed together, resulting in charge separation. This contrast highlights the difference between static electricity and current electricity, where electrons flow through conductors. The characteristics of static electricity include the ability to create sparks or a shock when discharged, proving its potential energy even when not in motion. This understanding is fundamental in distinguishing between different forms of electricity used in various applications.
