An electric current involves the flow of electrically charged particles - usually electrons, but it may also be other particles, with a positive or negative charge. Now, to say that an electric current "is" a flow of charged particles is an oversimplification - the situation is a bit more complicated.

Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What actually moves when an electric current flow?
Electrons move in electron current flow.
What is the conventional current flow?
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
Why must a circuit be closed in order for a current to flow?
A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.
What magnet is created by an electric current?
Current flow
What are the advantages of co-current flow?
A Counter-current flow has more advantages as comapared to a co-current flow.
What is a current flow restrictor?
A current flow restrictor is a diode.
Voltage is pressure and current is flow what opposes flow?
Reverse current.
Is it possible to flow current wireless?
No it is not possible to flow current wireless.
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.
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?
Electron flow is from negative to positive. Conventional current flow is from positive to negative.
How are convention current caused?
Conventional current flow is current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive. See Related Links
What is a flow of electricity?
a current
Which way does the current flow in a car?
The current flow is from positive to negative whereas electron flow is from negative to positive.
When the flow of a current is aways in one direction?
When the flow of current is aways in one direction it is known as direct current.
What exactly is current?
Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate at which electric charge moves through a conductor, such as a wire. Current is essential for transferring energy and powering electrical devices.
