Electric current is the rate at which electrons flow from one atom to another. It relates to a river in that the electrons which make up the current are always flowing in the same direction just like the current in a river.

What type of energy is generated by using the earth heat?
Geothermal energy - electricity.
How much CO2 does your dryer produce?
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
How much CO2 does playing a computer produce?
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
What is the most common source of alternate energy?
Hydro-electricity - using falling water from dams and rivers to generate electricity is the most common source.
What problems faced power stations to transmit electricity to the cities?
One major problem was how to transfer electricity over long distances, without loosing the current. The current may dissipate over a long circuit, so what you get at the city is only a fraction of what you generated at the plant. This problem was overcome by using large transformers. They convert high current/low voltage to a low current but very high voltage. The electricity is then carried across land with minimal losses and once nearer its destination will be converted back to a higher current/lower voltage through the use of further transformers.
What types of electricity generated by using some type of motion?
Alternating current and static electricity. Pulses of current made via piezo electricity would be called d.c.
How can electricity be generated using wind?
using wind turbines !
Electricity for recharging batteries should be generated using what kind of resources?
Electricity for recharging batteries should be generated using resources which are renewable. Renewable resources will not run out.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
What electricity is generated using water?
Hydropower is generated using water. It harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity. This is done by capturing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into mechanical energy, which is then used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
What percent of the world's electricity generated using gas?
In 2011, twenty-one percent of the world's electricity was generated using gas. Physicists expect that number to rise to twenty-five percent by 2040.
What type of energy is generated by using the earth heat?
Geothermal energy - electricity.
How does water mess up electricity?
Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.
How does decommissioning affect the overall cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels?
SMD
How is electricity current produce a sources of electricity?
by using electrons to solar energy
What electricity that flows using a flow of electrons?
CURRENT
What proportion of your electricity is generated using nuclear energy?
World wide the figure is about 16 percent
