when the circuit is closed i.e. there is complete connection between all devices, there is an attraction for the electrons from the negative terminal towards the positive terminal. the flow/movement of electrons is called electric current.

What do you call a material that readily allows an electrial current to flow?

A material that readily allows an electric current to flow is called a conductor. Conductors have low resistance and allow electrons to move freely. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.


What are the materials that electrial current cannot pass through?

Electrical current cannot pass through materials that are insulators, such as rubber, glass, plastic, and wood. These materials do not allow the flow of electrons due to their high resistance to electric current.
