A static discharge differs from an electric current in that a static discharge __.

Question

A. is a flow of electrons
B. Lasts for only a fraction of a second
C. results because a force is exerted on the electrons
D. Involved the movement of ions as well as electrons

Answer 1

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.
