Electrical current is the measure of the flow of electrons, measured in Amperes (Amps).
An example would be to compare it with a fluid flow meter. As opposed to pressure, which is analogous to Voltage.

∙ 6y agoAn electrical current involves the movement of ANY type of charged particles or quasiparticles. The most common example is the movement of electrons (for example, in metals); but an electrical current can also involve the movement of holes in semiconductors, positive or negative ions in a solution, or other charged particles.

What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electricity?
Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.
What were the earliest types of electricity that scientists experimented with?
static electricity and current electricity
Something that will not let electricity flow through it is a?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Bad conductor of current, or an insulator.
What kind of electricity is lightning an example?
Lightning is an example of static electricity
The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?
In current electricity we discuss moving charges while stationary charges are studied in static electricity.
Is high-voltage syndrome an example of static or current electricity?
it is an example of current electricity
What are some example of current?
One example of current electricity are transmission lines. These bring electricity from power stations to individual houses.
What are some example of electricity?

What are the examples of electricity?
One example of current electricity are transmission lines. These bring electricity from power stations to individual houses.
Current electricity vs electrical current?
Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.
Why is lightning an example of current electricity?
because it gives electrical thunderstroms
What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two types are "static electricity" and "current electricity."
What do we call the movement of electric charge?
electricity
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electricity?
Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.
When a torch is on is it a static electricity or current electricity?
current x
Small units of electricity?
As 'electricity' is not a quantity and, therefore, cannot be measured, you will need to be more specific as to what you are asking. For example, are you referring to current, voltage, etc?
What are the five types of electricity?
AC specifies alternating current and DC means direct current.
