    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.
