How does an electric current flow through a metal conductor?

In simple words, electric current is a movement or flow of electrically charged particles and its unit of measurement is amperes. When an electric current flows in a conductor, it flows as a drift of free electrons in the metal. Electricity flows easily through a conductor because the electrons are free to move around in the object. read more

Dynamic electricity, or electric current, is the uniform motion of electrons through a conductor. Static electricity is unmoving (if on an insulator), accumulated charge formed by either an excess or deficiency of electrons in an object. read more
