Study Notes
Electric Current Fundamentals
- The flow of electric charge is known as electric current.
- Electric current is carried through a conductor by moving charged particles, such as electrons.
- By convention, electric current is said to flow in the direction from positive to negative terminals, opposite to the flow of electrons.
