What is electric current
What is Electric Current?
Electric current is a flow of charged particles (usually electrons) through conductors (usually wires and electronic components).
It can be likened to the flow of water through pipes and radiators. As water is pushed through pipes by a pump, electric current is pushed through wires by a battery.
A basic law of the universe is that like charges repel and unlike attract.
Two negatives will repel each other. A negative and a positive will attract each other.
An electron has a negative charge.

Electric Current
The negative (-V) terminal of a battery will push negative electrons along a wire.
The positive (+V) terminal of a battery will attract negative electrons along a wire.
Electric current will therefore flow from the -V terminal of a battery, through the lamp, to the positive terminal.
Electric Current
This is called electron current flow.

Current
The unit for current is the Ampere [Amp, A].
