Question

what is an electric current ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric current can be thought of as 'flowing in' from one terminal and 'flowing out' from the other. If the tip of the metal cap and the base of the zinc can are connected by a metal wire, current will flow through it.

Answer 2

A pace of flowing electric charge past a place or region is referred to as an electric current.

Explanation:

• When there is a net movement of electric charge through a region, an electric current exists.

• Charge carriers are the moving particles, and different sorts of particles can be found in different conductors.

• Electrons flowing through a wire are the charge carriers in electric circuits. Ions are charge carriers in an electrolyte, while ions and electrons are charge carriers in an ionised gas.

• An ammeter is a device used to measure electric current. In incandescent light bulbs, electric current induces Joule heating, which produces light.
