The force moving electrons in electricity is called resistance. The electrons move toward a path of least resistance. The current is the actual movement of the electrons in a specific direction.
No, an electric current is either:
or
Yes, an electric current is the movement of negative charges called electrons.
Yes. One ampere of electric current means that 6.241 × 1018 electrons per second are passing any given point in a conductor.
False
The movement of electric charge is known as an electric current, the intensity of which is usually measured in amperes
Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.
Electrons... Electrons are the atomic particles that have a negative electronic charge
That's just in convention, in line with other electric convention. It is common to use positive charges as a standard; for example, a current is usually defined as a movement of positive charges. If the actual charges happen to be negative (for example, electrons), the "conventional current" simply flows in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons.
An isolated positive and negative can move for example in an electric or magnetic field. But in metals only the electrons can move since the positive charge is bound to the metal lattice by attractive forces.

Positive and negative electrical charges atract each other, cause movement
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
Protons are positive, and electrons are negative.

The relationship between positive and negative electric charges is in their number of electrons. This causes them to be attracted or repel each other based on this charge.
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.

Yes because only electrons(negatively charged) can travel.
Protons have a positive (+) charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative (-) charge.
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.
