What are two kinds of electricity?

The two kinds of electricity are:

Static electricity: The imbalance between the positive and negative charges in an object leads to a discharge of electrical pulse called Static Electricity.
Current electricity: Current Electricity is the flow of electrons from one section of an electric circuit to another.
