What term describes the flow of electricity along a conductor in a complete circuit?

  1. Alternating Current

  2. Direct Current

  3. Electric Current

  4. Static Electricity

The correct answer is: Electric Current

Electric current is the term that describes the flow of electricity along a conductor in a complete circuit. It is the movement of electric charge carriers, such as electrons, through a medium like a wire. Alternating current and direct current refer to the type of flow of current, where alternating current changes direction periodically and direct current flows in one direction only. Static electricity is a stationary electric charge typically produced by friction. However, in the context of a complete circuit, electric current best describes the flow of electricity.
