Answer: Hello mate!

when an electric charge is accumulated in an object, this current electric charge distributes in the surface of the object and remains there until it can discharge by an electric current or an electrical discharge, this is called "static electricity".

"current electricity" means that the charges are moving, like in a wire, for example, once the "current" part, and this is not the case, because you are accumulating the charge into an object, and the charge remains there.

"circuit electricity" is not a term that I ever used, but stands for electricity in a path or line through a circuit, where this path is the "current circuit".
