Because that's basically what "current" means - that there is something that flows. For comparison, water flowing in a river is also called a "current".

Is current a flow of electrons?

In general, yes, we normally think of the movement of electrons (electron flow) as electric current.


What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?

The direction of current due to flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of conventional current. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so when they flow in a wire, they are actually moving in the opposite direction to the current flow defined by convention.


What actually moves when an electric current flow?

In an electric current, electrons are the moving charge carriers. They flow through the electrical conductor, such as a wire, to create the current. The movement of electrons generates the flow of energy that powers electrical devices.


In automotive electrical circuits current is considered to flow from where to where?

In an automotive electrical circuit, current is considered to flow from negative to positive in that circuit. Electrons leave the negative terminal of the battery, flow through any complete circuits, and return to the positive terminal of the battery.


What is the flow of electrons callled?

The flow of electrons is called an electrical current. Current is measured in Amps and flows from a positive voltage towards a negative voltage. The electrons themselves have a negative charge so they move or flow in the opposite direction to the flow of current.


Current and voltage?

The current is the flow of electrons The voltage is the push the power source gives to the electrons to make the current faster. The flow of electrons is electricity HI!! By the way I am amazing! Trust me.
