either is constant
Then an 'electrical current' is said to be present in the conductor.
Current specifically refers to the movement electrons through an electric conductor. Electricity is a more general term.

In the case of a metal conductor, such as a wire, an electric current is the result of a drift of free electrons along the conductor. Free electrons are electrons that have become detached from the outer orbit of the metal atoms, and move haphazardly from atom to atom. You can think of these electrons behaving somewhat like a gas that fills the voids between individual fixed atoms. This 'gas' of electrons is in a constant state of rapid, random, and chaotic motion. However, when a potential difference is applied across the ends of the conductor, there is a tendency for individual electrons to gradually move from the negative end of the conductor to the positive end. Individual electrons move in this direction VERY slowly -in the order of millimetres per hour. Since this happens to ALL the free electrons at the same time, the effect of this drift is felt practically immediately along the entire length of the conductor.
A: Electrons are particles orbiting a nucleus and depending on the material it can have one to many electrons more means better conductor. As a force EMF is impressed on this material electrons are forced to leave orbit and go where ? to the next nucleus but now here there are too many for balance so one leaves and so on. So as electrons flow one way the lack of one goes the other way. basically that is how electrons flow causing electric current as you put it.
electrons
False. The imbalance of electrons in an atom does not create electric current. Electric current is the flow of electric charge, which is the movement of electrons through a conductor. The movement of electrons in an atom due to an imbalance is known as an electric field, which can lead to the flow of electric current when a conductor is present to allow the movement of electrons.
When an electric charge moves through a conductor, an electric current is generated in the conductor. The flow of electrons creates a flow of current in the conductor, which is the movement of electric charge through the material.
Electrons.
It is called, "electric current", and is measured in "Amperes".
When a voltage is applied to a conductor, free electrons gain energy and move in response to the electric field created by the voltage. This movement of electrons constitutes an electric current flowing through the conductor.
To cause electrons to move through a conductor, an electric field is required. This field creates a force that pushes the electrons along the conductor. The strength of the force is determined by the voltage applied across the conductor.
electrons
It permits electrons to flow through it easily.
The force that causes electrons to move in a conductor is an electric field created by a voltage difference across the conductor. This electric field exerts a force on the negatively charged electrons, causing them to flow in the direction of the electric field.
current
Yes, electrons carry electric current when they flow through a conductor such as a wire. The movement of electrons is what generates the flow of electric charge known as an electric current.
