What is the movement of electrons along a conductor called?

It is called, "electric current", and is measured in "Amperes".


Number of electrons flowing pass one point?

The passing charges is called, "Current", and the rate of those charges is measured in "Amperes", capitalized because the word is taken from a person's name. The common electrical units are: Electromotive Force, or EMF. Measured in Volts. Current. Measured in Amperes. Resistance. Measured in ohms.


Is electric current is measured in amperes?

Amperes or amps measures the electrical current. Think of it as a flow of water through a hose to simplify.


What type of current flows through an electric current?

Current is the flow of electrons. This could be DC (direct current like what you find in a battery) or AC (alternating current, what you find in a regular plug for example). Current is measured in Amperes or amps. And if you have the unfortunate chance of being shocked, amps are what could actually harm you or kill you.


What is electric current flow?

Answerits lightning, for a more simple answer......electric current flow is the movement of charges. Most often, however, we consider electric current flow to be moving electrons, or electron current flow.We most often use the term electric current flow to refer to the moving electrons, the flow of which is measured in amperes.Earlier scientists, before the discovery of electron, do believe that current flows right from positive terminal to the negative. This is known as conventional current flow.So electron flow is always opposite the direction of conventional current.
