 An electric current is a flow of electric
charge in the direction opposite to the
Electrons
 The SI unit for measuring an electric current
is the Ampere, which is the flow of electric
charges through a surface at the rate of one
Coulomb per second
 Electric current can be measured with an
instrument called Ammeter.
 Electric currents cause many effects, notably
heating, but also induce magnetic fields,
which are widely used for motors, inductors
and generators.
 In physics and electrical engineering, a
conductor is an object or type of material that
permits the flow of electric charges in one or
more directions. For example, a wire is an
electrical conductor that can carry electricity
along its length.
 In metals such as Copper or Aluminium, the
movable charged particles are electrons.
 An electrical insulator is a material whose
internal electric charges do not flow freely,
and therefore make it very hard to conduct an
electric current under the influence of an
electric field.
 Materials such as Glass, Paper and Teflon,
which have high resistivity, are very good
electrical insulators.
