What is electric current current?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Just as the flow of water in a river constitutes a current of water, flow of charge, i.e. charges in motion constitue an electric current. - The charged particles whose flow in a definite direction constitutes the electric current are called current carriers.e.g. electrons in conductors,ions in electrolytes,electrons and holes in semiconductors. The essential requirement for maintaining a steady current is a source of e.m.f. e.m.f. is associated with an arrangement or mechanism which can supply energy or does work to move the electric charge from lower potential energy to higher potential energy.

Answer 3

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate of flow of electrons in a circuit. Higher current values indicate a greater flow of charge.

Answer 4

Electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits the charge is carried by moving electrons in a wire.

Answer 5

Electricity current is the flow of charge.
