Current is the rate at which charge is flowing. Resistance is a materialâs tendency to resist the flow of charge (current). So, when we talk about these values, weâre really describing the movement of charge, and thus, the behavior of electrons.
A current of electricity is a steady flow of electrons. When electrons move from one place to another, round a circuit, they carry electrical energy from place to place like marching ants carrying leaves. Instead of carrying leaves, electrons carry a tiny amount of electric charge.
