yes.
It's an electric cell.
If an electric current doesn't pass easily through a substance, such a substance is said to be an INSULATOR.

Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower energy.
When charges (means charged bodies) move , then we say that an electric current is produced. If charges remain at rest, current is zero. If charge Q moves through a metal in time t , then current I through metal is: I=Q/t; moreever, electric current can also be produced by rate of change of magnetic field through a metal...,
yes.
Before you can understand how electrical energy is supplied by your electric company, you need to know how it is produced. A magnet and a conductor, such as a wire, can be used to induce a current in the conductor. The key is motion. An electric current is induced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a magnetic field. Generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. Current that is generated in this way is called induced current. To induce a current in a conductor, either the conductor can move through the magnetic field or the magnet itself can move.
Hans Orsted first discovered that when an electric current was run through a wire and put close to a compass, the needle moved toward it. Although, he had no idea what that meant. Michael Faraday, built on his work and found that when an electric current runs through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. He also found that an electric field is around a wire it produces an electric current. The direction of the current depends on which direction the field is going in. The faster you move the electric field the stronger the current.
No. If a flood of protons did move from place to place, that certainly would constitute an electric current. But that's not what's happening when something in your hand, in your home, or in your car has an electric current in it. Those electric currents are the movement of electrons through the wires or cables that we see around us in daily life.
Conductors, such as metals.
It's an electric cell.

An electromotive force or potential difference between its ends.
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
no
