hi I'm Adrianna; i have to say it would definitely be a current because without the current it wouldn't be able to flow.
Voltage, actually. The voltage is similar to the pressure in a pipe and is sometimes called Electro-Motive Force (EMF). The current is how much flow there is and would be analagous to the volume of water delivered, as in gallons per minute.
Voltage, measured in volts, is the electrical pressure that causes electrons to flow in a circuit. Voltage is what pushes electrons through a conductor, such as a wire, and is necessary for the flow of electrical current.
The force that causes electrons to flow in the same direction is an electric field. When a voltage is applied across a conductor, an electric field is established which exerts a force on the electrons, causing them to move in the same direction through the conductor.
The driving force that causes electrons to flow through conductors is called voltage. Voltage creates an electric field that pushes the electrons in a circuit, enabling them to move from higher potential to lower potential.
The force that causes electrons to flow through a conductor is known as voltage or electromotive force (EMF). Voltage provides the "push" or potential difference that drives electrons from areas of higher potential to lower potential, resulting in an electric current.
When a switch is turned on, it creates a closed circuit that allows electrons to flow from the negative terminal of the power source to the positive terminal. This flow of electrons is driven by the electric field created by the voltage difference between the two terminals.

Current flows in a dry cell due to a chemical reaction within the cell, where electrons are released from the anode (negative terminal) and flow through the external circuit to the cathode (positive terminal). This flow of electrons creates an electric current.
In wires, the movement of electrons is driven by an electric field created by a voltage source. This electric field exerts a force on the electrons, causing them to move. In contrast, in a solution, positive ions and electrons can move because of the flow of electric current through the solution.
Electrons flow because of electrical attraction and repulsion.
