An electric current is the movement of the conduction band electron "gas" in a conductor. This can be induced in various ways:
- Application of a voltage difference across the conductor.
- Having magnetic flux lines "cut through" the conductor, which will push the electron "gas" perpendicular to the plane the flux lines "cut".
- Connecting the conductor to 2 dissimilar metals and placing the metals in an electrolyte. Corrosion of one of the metals will cause current in the conductor.
- etc.

What is the formula of electric current?
the formula for electric current is VI ,where v is voltage then I is the current. the unit used for current is ampere and volts for voltage. multiply the total I to the Voltage The formular of electric current is given by I=V/R ,I=P/V
How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?
the ability if a substance to slow down 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.
Controls the flow of electric current?
a generator
How does the increase or decrease of potential difference affect the flow of the electric current?
Increase or decrease in potential results in the change in direction of the flow of electric current.
How do the components in electric circuits affect the electric current?
It makes the current bigger
What is the electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to is?
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the what?
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.
What happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing?
Several things happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing. The electrodes conduct the electrical current and makes the circuit complete.

What unit measure the force that makes electron move in a electric current?
Power
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
What is a electrical curcuit?
An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. Its so simple, though my friend from extraminds help me with proper answer.
What is the direction of flow of electric current in an electric current?

What properties makes certain metalloids useful as switches to turn electric current on and off?
any property
What is a continuous flow of electricity is called?
A current.
