What do we call the flow of electric charge in a circuit?

Current is the correct term for the physical flow or movement of electric charge (typically electrons) through a closed circuit. It is measured in Amperes (amps) and represents the quantity of electrons passing a specific point over a given time. It is helpful to think of a water pipe analogy: current represents the actual water flowing through the pipe. The other terms represent different electrical properties. Voltage is the electrical pressure pushing the charge, resistance is the opposition to that flow, and capacitance is a component's ability to store an electrical charge.
