Static mean there is no Changing, $$Delta=0$$

ybarrap · Answer

current $I$ is the change in charge $q$ with respect to time:
$$
I=\cfrac{dq}{dt}
$$
If charge is not moving, there is no current.

Static electricity is an accumulation of charge with no motion.

Static electricity refers to the accumulation of "excess" charge on a body. Electric current refers to the "net movement" of charge(s) across any (imaginary) plane. For a quantitative definition of electric current; see ybaarp's post. Static electricity converts into (or generate) an electric current as soon as a conducting path is established. For e.g. when you touch a person possessing static electricity. See the diagram - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Static_on_the_playground_%2848616367%29.jpg
