What is the name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?

The physical movement or flow of electrons through a conductor (like a copper wire) is called electrical current. When a circuit is closed and a power source is applied, electrons travel through the path, creating this continuous flow. The other options represent entirely different electrical properties. Voltage is the electromotive force or pressure pushing the electrons, resistance is the friction that opposes the flow, and capacitance is the ability to store an electrical charge. Current is the only term that defines the flow itself.
