BeauElectricity that does not flow is referred to as static electricity. It occurs when there is a buildup of electric charge on an object's surface, but the charges do not move or flow as in an electric current. Static electricity can be generated by friction, induction, or contact.
Electricity that is not moving is called staticelectricity.AND ALSO ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRICITY.
Any insulating material or say any element or compound which doesn't have free electrons in its outermost shell i,e, no free electrons will not let electricity flow through it.

What is the fundamental concept that describes electricity as the flow of protons?
Electricity is the flow of electrons, not protons.
What is the term for an obstacle that impedes the flow of electricity?
The term for an obstacle that impedes the flow of electricity is "resistance."
How does a switch work in a circuit to control the flow of electricity?
A switch in a circuit works by opening or closing a pathway for electricity to flow. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. This control of the flow of electricity allows the switch to turn devices on and off in a circuit.
Does water decrease a substance resistance to the flow of electricity?
Water can increase a substance's conductivity, making it easier for electricity to flow through. This is why water can decrease a substance's resistance to the flow of electricity.
What does a switch in an electrical circuit do to control the flow of electricity?
A switch in an electrical circuit controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity through the circuit.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
How is the flow electricity of electricity mearsure?
flow of electricity is measured by an instrument galvanometer
How can electricity flow?
Electricity dose not truly "flow", it is the exchange of electrons.
Can electricity flow through metal?
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
What is the scientific name for something that stops the flow of electricity?
An insulator is a material that stops or reduces the flow of electricity.
What elements allow electricity to pass through?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
Something that will not let electricity flow through it?
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
What is and electrical current?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
Does electricity flow back to power plant?
Electricity does flow back to the power plant. This electricity is what forms the circuit needed to actually deliver the electricity to you when you need it.
What called the flow of electricity?
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
