Electricity can flow due to the movement of ANY charged particle. A current in metals is due to the movement of electrons, and this is the most common case for a current. However, a current can also be carried by holes, by positive or negative ions, etc.
You have to have a charged particle which is free to move, and an electromotive force for a current to flow.
current electricity
Electricity only moves through the air if there are electrically charged particles in the air and a live current passed through it. It also travels in the form of static electricity (lightning).
Depending on the medium, it could be "current" or "spark".
the electron, though any charged particle can create a flowing current.

The charged particle that flows through circuits is an electron.
Electrons produce electricity. Flow of electrons comprises of current.
Basically, a flow of charged particles - usually of electrons, but any charged particle will do.
Electricity involves charged particles. An electric current involves the movement of charged particles. These charged particles MAY be electrons, and often are; but it is possible to have an electric current with many other types of charged particles.
Electric current
current electricity
charge in electricity is an form of electricity, and dicribes the symbools such as plus and minus in the battery as it is charged.
The flow of electricity is called electrical current.
Electrons are mostdirectlyrelated to electric current. (Electric current is caused by the movement of electrons between atoms.)
