,

• has its unit as ampere

,

• moves in opposite directions to the electric charges/electrons

,

• is moving from the positive to the negative terminal

An open circuit does not allow the the flow of electric current. Therefore current does not flow in an open circuit. The flow of current takes place in a short circuit cell. Therefore, the statement "it flows only in an open circuit" is a
