current <<>> The movement of static electricity into an object called a static discharge.
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.
a static discharge lasts for only a fraction of a second
It doesn't differ at all, an electric current is electricity that is moving in a current and when static electricity is discharged from an object it creates a current from one object to another
I believe this answer that each of these two are powered by different things.

A static discharge is an accumulation of static electricity that discharges when negative electrons connect with the positive protons.
none, except:static electricity is electric charge without current flow, usually induced by friction between two different insulating materials.dynamic electricity is electric charge with current flow.when static electricity is discharged it is no longer static, as there is current flow during the discharge.
electric current (alternating)
Electric current is generated at a specific frequency for specific uses. Static electricity is usually a random discharge from one potential point to another.
Compare and contrast a current traveling through a circuit with a static discharge. Both are a movement of electrons from the negative to the positive charge. A circuit has a continuous current provided by a voltage source. A static discharge is a very rapid, non-continuous transfer of charge.
