To be precise, a current doesn't flow - a current "is". Although many people - including myself - often use the informal term "a current flows". The particles that make up the current do flow - or move.
An electrical current involves the movement of some type of charged particles. Often, these are negative electrons, but there are other possibilities, as well, especially positive holes, and negative or positive ions.

Resistor get hot when an electrical current flows through it?
A: the answer lies with the power consumption of any device while operating normaly.
Current flows from plus ve to -ve or-ve to plus ve?
There are two ways to look at current. Conventional current (measured in amps) flows from positive to negative. This model works for the vast majority of electrical engineering purposes. However, current is created by the movement of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge so electrons moving in one direction will give rise to conventional current in the opposite direction. Therefore, although current flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.
What limits the current that flows through a circuit for a particular appllied DC voltage?
The voltage applied and the resistance across it.
The path that a electrical current travels?
A path that is made for an electric current is called a circuit. The two main components in a circuit are the load and a source which are combined with conductors and as a whole form a circuit.
How does a pressure to current converter works?
An electrical circuit is an example of an electrical pressure to electrical current convertor.
What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
What is a electrical current that flows in one direction?
DC.
What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
Electrical current flows from a state of rest to a high pressure state?
False. Electrical current flows from a high pressure state (called hot) to a state of rest (called ground or neutral).
What is the name for an electrical current that flows in two directions?
parallel circuit
Electrical current in a battery flows from?
negative to positive during use
When a electric current flows through a wire it creates a?
When an electrical current flows through a wire it creates what is called an Electro Magnetic Field.A magnetic field is create when an electric current flows through a wire.
A is a sudden increase or spike in electrical energy affecting the current that flows to electrical outlets?
power surge
What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
How electrical current flows from a state of rest to high pressure state?
C
What wire carries the electrical current to the appliance?
The black wire is the hot wire through which the electrical current flows to the appliance. The left over voltage which is usually zero flows back to the main circuit panel through the white neutral wire where it flows to ground.
When electrical current flows through the metal filament of a light bulbelectrical energy is coverted to?
When electrical current flows through a lightbulb (whether it's CCFL, halogen, or incandescent), the trade-off is light and heat energy.
