Electrical charge that flows from one place to another through a conductor is known as what?

Electrical charge that flows from one place to another through a conductor is known as what?

• A. Current Electricity
• B. Voltage
• C. Resistance
• D. Electromagnetism

Answer: (A)

The flow of electrical charge through a conductor is called electric current. This is electricity in motion—the charges move from one point to another, and the rate of that flow is measured in amperes. Voltage is what pushes the charges to move, while resistance opposes their flow, and electromagnetism is the broader relationship between electricity and magnetism. So the description given refers to current electricity.
