Current Flow Notes&Questions

This document discusses current flow in metals and electrolytes. For metals, electrons are able to move from atom to atom, carrying electric current. The document defines current as the flow of electrons from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a circuit. For electrolytes, both positively and negatively charged ions move when a current flows, with negative ions moving towards the anode and positive ions towards the cathode.
