Yes because only electrons(negatively charged) can travel.

The flow of negative charges through matter is called?
A continuous flow of negative charges is called an electric current.
The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
What causes a electric current?
when a negative and a positive charges attract. or when there is a closed circuit.
Is an electric current a flow of negative charges?
Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.

What is the direction of current flow in a Battery and why?
Current means flow. Electric current means flow of electric charges Now there are two kind of charges. They are positive and negative But current is defined as the flow of positive charges But in metallic wires there is no chance for positive charges to flow through. Only loosely bound electrons with negative charge are capable of flowing. So current is case of metallic wire is due to electrons. So we have to assign as "conventional current". Conventional current is always opposite to the flow of electron flow Now from a battery current (conventional) flows right from positive polarity to the negative polarity. But within batter is has to flow right from negative to positive so as to complete the circuit of flow.
What is the flow electric charges called?
It is called an electric current.
What is a flow of charges?
electric current. . . . . . .
What is the continuous flow of electric charges?
electric current
What is a flow of electrical charges?
electric current. . . . . . .
Why current flow in the opposite direction of flowing electron?
Electrons do not flow, but they might be though of as 'flowing' as they transfer charges between them. The reason that electron flow is the opposite direction from current is that historical theories of electrical flow (current) treated it as a movement of positive charges rather than negative charges.There is no actual difference that could be discerned, except that we now know that negative charges (electrons) constitute the basis of most common electricity.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
