Question

question 2 of 20 which statement explains the difference between static and current electricity? a. conductors and insulators can carry static electricity, but only insulators can carry current electricity b. conductors and insulators can carry current electricity, but only conductors can carry static electricity. c. conductors and insulators can carry current electricity, but only insulators can carry static electricity. d. conductors and insulators can carry static electricity, but only conductors can carry current electricity.

Explanation:

Static electricity can build - up on both conductors and insulators. Current electricity requires a continuous flow of electric charge, which can only occur through conductors as they have free - moving electrons.

Answer:

D. Conductors and insulators can carry static electricity, but only conductors can carry current electricity.
