You see it used in countlessways. You cannot taste or smell electricity, but you can feel , there are two kinds of electricity - static (stationary) and dynamic (moving). Thismodule is about dynamic electricity because that is the kind commonly put to (dynamic) is characterized by the flow of electrons through a conductor. To understandthis phenomenon, you must know something about chemical elements and and AtomsElements are the most Basic of materials.
Current For electrons to move in a particular direction, it is necessary for a potential difference to exist between two points of the EMF source. The continuous movement of electrons past a given point is known as current. It is measured in amperes. The symbol for current is the letter I and for amperes, the letter A.
