The electric current moves in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons by convention.When a potential difference is applied to a material which has "loose" electrons, the electrons move in a direction opposite to the potential gradient and the current moves in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons.This is how current flows in materials.

The term for the flow of electrons through a circuit is?
electric current
How can you make an electric current stronger?
An electric current through a resistive circuit can be increased by decreasing the resistive load or increasing the voltage of the circuit.
What is the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?
Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.
What is made by passing an electric current through coils of wire?
An electro magnet is created when a current is passed through a coil of wire. This effect is the main operation of how an electrical solenoid operates.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
Is this sentence incorrect any material that allows an electric current to pass through is called a battery?
Incorrect. Any material that allow electric current to pass through it is a conductor.
A material through which electric current does not pass easily?
an instalor
What is the flow of electrical charges through a material?
Electric Current.
What is the continuous flow of charge through a material.?
Electric Current.
Does an electric current flow through a material that is conductor or an insulator?
A conductor
What is a material called that allows an electric current to flow through it?
A conductor.
What material allows electric current to pass through?
Electric current flows in conducting materials such as metals. The best conductor of electric current is silver, followed closely by copper and then aluminium.
How can magnets produce an electric current?
When a conducting material is moved through a magnetic field, a current starts to flow in the conductor. This is the principle of the electric generator.
Definition of insulators of electricity?
That refers to a material that doesn't let an electric current through easily - a material with a high resistance,
How can an electric current be kept flowing through a coil of wire?
By applying an electrical current constantly or by using a superconducting material.
Is the continuous flow of charges through a material is called electric resistance?
No, it's called 'current'.
