Does current depend upon the number of flowing electrons or energy of elecrons?
Aa7blue
"energy of elecrons" - I guess you mean of *electrons*.
Current is the measure of the number of electrons flowing past a point: one amp of current is about 6.2415093×1018 electrons per second

What does the amount of current flowing in each branch of a parallel circuit depend on?
It depends on the resistance (or impedance) of that branch alone.
What happens to the voltage as the number of flowing electrons increases?
Voltage is the potential difference between two points. It is commonly measured by a voltmeter with 2 probes, each one touching the two points. Flowing electrons do not depend on voltage. They depend on the voltage difference between two points. Same as saying a ball does not run along a road merely if the road is at high altitude. Only if the altitude is falling along the road will the ball run in that direction. And the steeper the road, the faster it goes. The currents that flow in a wire is not directly caused by increases in the number of electrons (in a metal, the concentration of electrons is constant at all normal voltages and doesn't vary with current) but how rapidly the voltage changes as you go along the wire ("the electric field", measured in volts per cm). If you force in more flowing electrons from a source connected to it, the volts per cm increases so that the current carries away the supplied flow.
Does the amount of electric current flowing in a conductor depend in part on the pressure under which it flows?
Yes. Pressure being voltage. Voltage divided by resistance equals current.
What is a circuit which will allow flowing current?
As long as an electrical power source is connected to itself with electrical conductors of some kind, then a current will flow through it. How much current will depend on the components used in the circuit.
What is current coil and voltage coil?
The current coil is one through which the current of source can pass. This coil is connected in series. The voltage coil is connected parallel to the applied voltage. In the current coil the quantity of current flowing is proportional to the current flowing in load while in the voltage coil, current flowing is proportional to applied supply voltage. The voltage coil current is independent of current flow in load. For a complete understanding, please refer to a watt meter diagram.
How does the current flowing in a conductor depend on the number of mobile charge carriers per unit length on their average velocity on the charge per carrier?
the flowing in the conductor is related as given by the relation... I=Vena v=drift velocity of electron e=charge on electron n=concentration of electron in the current carrying conductor . a=area
Will a 30 amp breaker protect a 24 Range?
no, because it is depend on its current carrying capacity. eg-if 25amp current flowing in the ckt then 30amp breaker don't protect the ckt but if it is cross the rated capacity then breaker works.
Does e by m value of electrons depend on velocity of electrons?
No
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
What does hydroelectric power generation depend on?
flowing water to turn turbines
What is the average speed of the world's most powerful current in centimetres per second?
This will depend not only upon the strength of the current (in Amperes), but also on the wire's cross-section. In any case, in a typical current, the electrons have an average speed of a tiny fraction of a milliter per second.
What do the chemical reactions of elements depend on?
Valence electrons.
