  • Electric Current: Understanding the Flow of Electrons
    Moving electrons are known as electric current.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Electrons: Tiny, negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom.

    * Electric current: The flow of electric charge, which is usually carried by moving electrons.

    So, when electrons move in a conductor like a wire, we call that flow of electrons "electric current". This current is what powers our appliances and devices.
