  • Electric Current: Definition, How It Works & Key Concepts
    The movement of electrical charge on a material is called electric current.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Electrical charge: The fundamental property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

    * Material: Any substance that can carry electrical charge.

    * Movement: The flow of charge through the material.

    Think of it like water flowing through a pipe:

    * Water: Represents electrical charge.

    * Pipe: Represents the material.

    * Flow: Represents the electric current.

    The unit for measuring electric current is the ampere (A).
