Causes	It induces because of the movement of the negative charges from one object to another	The current electricity is because of the movement of the electrons.
Material	The static electricity develops both in the conductor and insulator.	The current electricity develops only in conductor
Magnetic Field	Not induces the magnetic field.	It induces magnetic field.
Time period	Exist for short time.	Exist for long time.
Measuring Device	Gold leaf electroscope	Analog and digital meter.
Examples	Lightning strokes, it develop by rubbing the balloons on hair, etc.	The current electricity is used for running the fan, light, T.V etc.
