By definition we have to:
The electric current is the flow of electric charge due to the movement (usually of electrons) that a material travels.
Some properties are:
1) Electric conduction: The conductive materials have a large amount of free electrons, therefore, the passage of electricity is possible.
2) The current inside a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. This is what is known as ohm's law:
3) The current can be continuous or alternate.
Alternating current is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.
The direct current is the flow of electric charges that does not change direction with time.
