An electric current carries electrons from an area of high  potential to another area of low potential. Potential difference is  the condition that must exist for a current â¦ to move electrons  around.
Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Electrons are said to carry negative charge, while protons are said to carry positive charge, although these labels are completely arbitrary (more on that later).
