A static discharge differs from an electric current in that a static discharge **B. lasts for only a fraction of a second**.

Static discharge typically occurs when there is a sudden transfer of electric charge (like a spark), and this process is usually very brief compared to a continuous electric current, which flows steadily over a period of time.
