Electric current is the flow of-

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Electric charges

• Electric current is defined as the flow of electric charges, typically electrons, through a conductor such as a wire.

• It is measured in amperes (A).

• The direction of conventional current is considered to be the direction in which positive charges would move.

• In most cases, actual current in conductors is carried by negatively charged electrons.

• This flow requires a potential difference (voltage) and a closed conducting path.

Information Booster:
• SI unit of current: Ampere (A)
• Instrument to measure current: Ammeter
• Electrons move from negative to positive, conventional current is from positive to negative
• Current = Charge / Time => I = Q/t
• Battery or generator provides electromotive force (EMF) for current
• Metals like copper and aluminum are good conductors of current

Additional Information:
• Light – A form of electromagnetic radiation, not charge flow.
• Water – Physical fluid, not related to electricity unless electrolytes are involved.
• Electric charges – Correct, specifically electrons in most circuits.
• Waves – Energy transmission; not the definition of current.
