What is the difference of static electricity and current electricity?

Current electricity requires an energy source, it would not flow unless there is a complete circuit to flow through continuously and it only flow through conductors where as static electricity does not require all of these. Static electricity can have extra protons or electrons and there foe can be either positively or negatively charged. Current electricity is simply the flow of electrons(negative).
