what is the difference between electric current and electricity...please elaborate...does electrons contain some energy which is called electricity?....please help...and what exactly is electricity.

Dear student,

Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit, measured in Coulombs/second which is named Amperes. In most DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the Resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to Voltage and resistance by Ohm's law.

Electricity is the presence and flow of electric charge or just the flow of electronsElectric current is is also a flow of electric charges. And it is also defined as the rate of flow of charges per unit time.
