Question
what is an electric current?
the push that moves electric charges.
a path that is open and incomplete.
the opposition to the flow of electric charges.
the flow of charge in a complete closed path.
Electric current is defined as the flow of electric charge. In a complete closed circuit (path), electric charges (usually electrons in a conductor) move continuously. The first option describes voltage (the 'push' for charges). The second option is about an open circuit. The third option is about resistance (opposition to charge flow). The fourth option correctly aligns with the definition of electric current as charge flow in a complete closed path.
