Yes, electrons carry electric current when they flow through a conductor such as a wire. The movement of electrons is what generates the flow of electric charge known as an electric current.
Electric currents produce magnetic fields through the interaction of moving electric charges. When an electric current flows through a conductor, such as a wire, the moving electrons create a magnetic field around the conductor. This magnetic field is generated by the alignment of the electrons' spins and their movement in a particular direction. The strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the conductor.
Electric currents can create a magnet by running through a coil of wire, which generates a magnetic field. This process is known as electromagnetism.
True electric currents refer to the movement of electric charge carriers through a conductor, such as electrons in a wire. It is this flow of charge that powers electrical devices and circuits. The direction of the current is defined as the flow of positive charge, even though in reality it is often negative charges (electrons) that are moving.
Electrons carry electric charge. When they move through a conductor, they create an electric current, which is the flow of electric charge. This flow of electrons is what powers electrical devices and enables the transmission of electricity.
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called an electric current. It is the movement of electric charge across a medium, typically driven by a voltage difference. Electric currents are fundamental to the operation of electrical devices and systems.

All electric currents create magnetic fields. If you wind wire into a coil and pass current through the wire, that is an electromagnet.
