The prevailing theory is that the atoms in the conductor share electrons, and they seem to move around at random in the conductor material. When a voltage is applied across the conductor, the electrons tend to move in that direction, but they are still pretty random. This average trend is what we measure as current.

∙ 9y agoIn the electrolyte, when electrons begin to flow from one terminal to other terminal, electricity has the tendency to move in the opposite direction of the electrons . Electricity
moves through the electrolyte due to the ions present in it.
Answer
Current in an electrolyte is a drift of ions (polarised atoms).

∙ 13y agoElectricity generally does not flow through ions, in the spatial sense of "through". Instead, electric current flows through phases containing ions by accepting electrons from ions or or donating electrons to ions at the surfaces of electrodes and thereby generating, or continuing the maintenance of, an electric field between two electrodes. The electric field causes ions capable of electron exchange to flow toward the electrodes where such electron exchange can occur.

What is the quality of bones that allows them to deform slightly and vibrate when electrical currents pass through?
piezoelectricity
What a intervening substance that allows energy to pass?
That depends A LOT on the type of energy. For example, light energy will pass through transparent substances, such as glass; electrical energy (in the form of a current) will pass through conductors, especially metals, etc.
What do you call a material that does not allow electricity to pass through it?
An electrical "insulator".
What are the electric insulators?
a electrical insulator is a kind of material that does not allow electricity to pass through it.
Why are there electrical currents in the brain?
There is no electricity inside of your brain.
How do electrical currents pass through metal?
By Flowing of Free or Conduction Electrons
What is the quality of bones that allows them to deform slightly and vibrate when electrical currents pass through?
piezoelectricity
What is the functioning of choke coil?
A choke coil is used in several electrical devices. The function it has is to block AC currents from passing through as it allows DC currents to pass through.
Does not let electrical currents flow through it?
Insulator.
How are electrical currents conducted through a solution?
ions
Who discovered that electrical currents do not need an electrical wire to flow through?
Thomas Edison
How do you get electicuted?
Touching live wiresTouching water with an electrical current running through ithaving wet hands and putting your finger in an electrical socketTouching the wires of a pylonSticking a metal object in an electrical socketBeing struck by a bolt of lightning obviously.Having faulty electrical equipmentYou are electrocuted because the electrical current can pass through whatever body part touched the electric, the current passes through your body frying your nerves. Your body is a conductor meaning it will let electrical currents pass through and that's how you get electrocutedhope this answers your question
Electrical currents can flow readily through which type of material?
Conductors.
What a intervening substance that allows energy to pass?
That depends A LOT on the type of energy. For example, light energy will pass through transparent substances, such as glass; electrical energy (in the form of a current) will pass through conductors, especially metals, etc.
Who discovered that electrical currents do not need electrical wire to flow through?
The first person to get killed by a lightning strike.
What are electrical conductor?
An electrical conductor is a material which lets electricity pass through it.
What are materials that electrical current cannot pass through?
Insulators
