Question

An electric current is

  1. Flow of charges
  2. Flow of electrons
  3. Flow of load
  4. Making of an electric circuit

Hint:

Electric current is the rate of change of electric charge through a circuit. 

The correct answer is: Flow of charges


    An electric current is the flow of charges.
    • The electric current is the flow of charges in a circuit or a system where it is generated.
    • It depends on the rate of the electron flow.
    • Thus, the electric current can be also defined as the flow of electrons in a conductor.
