________ is a type of electricity where a very sudden transfer of energy occurs from one place to another.

static electricity
current

lightning

static or current

Both static electricity and current electricity involve the transfer of electrical energy, but they differ in how that transfer occurs.

Static electricity is a type of electricity where there is a buildup of electrical charges on the surface of an object. These charges can be transferred from one object to another through contact or by discharge, resulting in a sudden flow of electricity.

Current electricity, on the other hand, refers to the continuous flow of electric charge through a conductor. This flow is typically generated by a power source, such as a battery or generator, and can be controlled and directed to power various electrical devices.
