    Static electricity is the balancing of uneven electrical forces between two surfaces. Such energy usually has a very high voltage and a very low current.

    Current Electricity varies depending on the type, and can be of any voltage depending on application. The most important difference between the two is this:
    AC - Alternating Current
    AC's current usually varies over a waveform, the most common being a sine form.
    DC - Direct Current
    DC's current is always of a constant magnitude.
