How can an electrical cable cause a fire outbreak in a building?

What type of current flows through an electric current?

An electric current primarily consists of the flow of electrons through a conductor, typically in a closed loop circuit. This movement of electrons generates a flow of charge that can be harnessed for various applications, such as powering electrical devices.


For an eletric current to flow the only thing needed is for two objects to have a difference in charge?

Yes. However, depending on the size and shape of the objects, the amount of current that flows may be small and/or flow for only a brief time until the charges are neutralized. But - if the objects are connected to an electrical power source such as a battery or a wall plug, the charges are continuously supplied and the current continues to flow.
