What is eletric current?

Answer 1

Current is basically, the rate of flow of charges through a conductor or wire.

It is commonly denoted by the alphabet I and measured in Amperes.

I = ne/t

n = no of electrons

e = charge on an electron

t = time taken for electron to move

Answer 2

Current electricity is the form of electricity which makes all of our electronic gizmos possible.

This form of electricity exists when charges are able to constantly flow.

As opposed to static electricity where charges gather and remain at rest, current electricity is dynamic, charges are always on the move.

current electricity flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.

Answer 3

An electric current is a drift of charges through a material. In the case of metallic conductors, these charges are electrons. But in other materials, such as liquids, these charges are often be ions (charged atoms). The actual drift of these charges is v-e-r-y slow -so slow, in fact, that a single electron is unlikely to travel the length of a flashlight's filament during the lifetime of its battery!

Electric current is measured in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the forces set up by its magnetic effect -the force, in newtons, between two parallel current-carrying conductors.

Answer 4

Electricity that flows through wires and flows without stopping.

Answer 5

Electric current is the movement of electric charge through a conductor, carried by the free electrons in the material. It is measured in amps

Answer 6

electric current is the flow of electric charge ;)

Answer 7

A flow of an electric charge.

Answer 8

Basically, a flow of electric charges.
