Electric current is the flow of a charge. The electric current can be positive, negative, or neutral, or any combination of the two. They can carry protons, neutrons, or electrons.

Answer:

Electric current is the flow of a charge

Explanation:

Electric current is defined as the flow of electric charges. Mathematically, it is given by :

\(I=\dfrac{q}{t}\)

Where

q = electric charge

t = time interval

The SI unit of electric current is ampere. It is denoted by letter A. According to Ohm's law, electric current can be given by  voltage divided by resistance of the circuit. Hence, the correct option is (c) " Electric current is the flow of a charge ".
