SteveElectricity 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.

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.
