Conventionally electric current was assumed to be a flow of positive charges. But in reality especially in metals electric current is due to the flow of negatively charged electrons. So direction of conventional current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. But in case of liquids as well as solids electric current is due the flow of both positive and negative ions.

What is he definition of electrical current?
The current flowing in an electrical circuit.
What carries electrical current?
An electrical circuit.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
What type of an electrical circuit has more than one current branch?
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit that has more than one current branch.
How are electrical current and circuits related?
Electrical currents require a circuit to flow. If the circuit is broken, then the electrical current will not flow. A switch is a prime example of this principle. When a switch is off, the circuit is broken. However, when it is turned, the circuit is completed and allows for the electrical current to flow through the appliance.
What constitutes a complete electrical circuit?
A complete electrical circuit occurs when it is possible for electrical current to flow through the electrical devices in it.
How does a pressure to current converter works?
An electrical circuit is an example of an electrical pressure to electrical current convertor.
What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?
A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.
What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
What is closed path throuth which current can flow?
An electric circuit.
What type of electrical circuit will be broken if a wire breaks?
Current will cease to flow in a series electrical circuit.
What is a single route for electrical current called?
A single route for electrical current is called a branch circuit.
