An electric current involves the flow of electrically charged particles - usually electrons, but it may also be other particles, with a positive or negative charge. Now, to say that an electric current "is" a flow of charged particles is an oversimplification - the situation is a bit more complicated.
What else can I help you with?
What is the flow of current through a wire known as?
The flow of current through a wire is known as electrical current.
Can a current flow in a wire with a free end?
No, a current cannot flow in a wire with a free end because there is no complete circuit for the current to flow through. In order for current to flow, there must be a closed loop circuit for the electricity to circulate through.
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What is the total opposition to current flow called?
The total opposition to current flow is called resistance. It is measured in ohms and represents the difficulty that a material offers to the flow of electric current.
Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
What are the advantages of co-current flow?
A Counter-current flow has more advantages as comapared to a co-current flow.
What is a current flow restrictor?
A current flow restrictor is a diode.
Voltage is pressure and current is flow what opposes flow?
Reverse current.
Is it possible to flow current wireless?
No it is not possible to flow current wireless.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
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 is the flow of current through a wire known as?
The flow of current through a wire is known as electrical current.
How are convention current caused?
Conventional current flow is current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive. See Related Links

Which way does the current flow in a car?
The current flow is from positive to negative whereas electron flow is from negative to positive.
When the flow of a current is aways in one direction?
When the flow of current is aways in one direction it is known as direct current.
