What is electric current current?

The correct term for the flow of electricity is current. Current is the number of electrons flowing per second in a circuit. The unit of electrical current flow is called the ampere. When 6.28 billion electrons pass a given point, this is called 1 coulomb. 1 coulomb per second is equal to 1 amp of current. Current flow is measured with an ammeter.


What does the energy carried by an electric current depend on?

The energy carried by an electric current depends on a conductor in order to flow. an Insulator disrupts the flow


What does an electric circuit provide for the flow of electric current?

It doesn't necessarily have a 'function'; it is simply the natural consequence of applying a potential difference across a conductor. However, this is usually done for a reason, and its function is then derived from one or other of the three effects of that current:heating effect -e.g. electric heatersmagnetic effect -e.g. electric motorschemical effect -e.g. electrolysis (electroplating)


How are electric current and electric charge related?

It might be possible to characterize an electric charge as a current -- if that charge is moving. Any moving charge is electricity under the fundamental definition of that term. Electricity is generally thought of as moving electrons, but a more fundamental definition of electricity is any moving charge or group of charges. If your electric charge is moving, it is electric current.


The movement of electricity along a is called a?

The movement of electricity is a current. It is when positive and negative particles flow against each other. This produces electricity.
