what is the correct definition of electricity? use the class slides attachment from the instructins to help you find the answer if you do not remember. slides with aqua highlight indicate exit ticket questions.
○ the flow of positive electric charge
○ the flow of negative electric charge
○ movement of electrons
○ the orbit of electrons around a nucleus

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Electricity is defined as the flow of electric charge (usually electrons, which are negative, but the conventional current is considered as the flow of positive charge for historical reasons, though the actual flow of charge in most cases is negative electrons). Among the options, "the flow of negative electric charge" (assuming the typo "char" is "charge") is the correct definition as electricity involves the movement of electric charge, and in many cases, it's the flow of negative charges (electrons) in conductors. The other options: "the flow of positive electric charge" is conventional current (not the actual charge flow in metals), "movement of electrons" is too vague (not all electron movement is electricity), and "the orbit of electrons around a nucleus" is atomic structure, not electricity.

Answer:

the flow of negative electric charge (assuming the option with "char" is a typo for "charge")
