FLOW OF ELECTRIC CHARGE (FOR SPECIFIC QUANTITIES SEE Q29996 OR Q234072)
Amperage; Electrical current; Conventional current; Electric Current; Electrical Current; Electric polarity; Electrical Polarity; Current (electric); Electric currents; Electric conduction; Electrical conduction in gases; Current (electricity); Electron current; AC/DC (electrical); Electrical polarity; Ion flow; Current electricity; Current (electrical); Dynamic electricity; Conduction current; Conventional current flow; AC/DC (electricity); Electric current intensity; DC polarity; Reverse polarity; + pole; Plus pole; Minus pole; − pole; - pole; Electron flow; Positive (electrical polarity); Negative (electrical polarity); Electric current measurement
An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume.

Amperage; Electrical current; Conventional current; Electric Current; Electrical Current; Electric polarity; Electrical Polarity; Current (electric); Electric currents; Electric conduction; Electrical conduction in gases; Current (electricity); Electron current; AC/DC (electrical); Electrical polarity; Ion flow; Current electricity; Current (electrical); Dynamic electricity; Conduction current; Conventional current flow; AC/DC (electricity); Electric current intensity; DC polarity; Reverse polarity; + pole; Plus pole; Minus pole; − pole; - pole; Electron flow; Positive (electrical polarity); Negative (electrical polarity); Electric current measurement
Electrical polarity is a term used throughout industries and fields that involve electricity. There are two types of poles: positive (+) and negative (−).
Examples of use of electric current
1. The monitor passes a low–level, imperceptible electric current through your body.
2. They are used regularly in London but it sends an electric current into the body.
3. The team has used this fermenting fluid as the source of electrons for a fuel cell‘s electric current.
4. The reconstructed egg holding the DNA from the donor cell was zapped with an electric current to stimulate cell division.
5. The sheets are seeded with dyes that light up red, green or blue when an electric current passes through them.
