Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
a current
no...current is a flow of electricity
It is called electrical current.
it is an example of current electricity
One example of current electricity are transmission lines. These bring electricity from power stations to individual houses.

Lightning is an example of current electricity because it is the flow of electrons (current) through the atmosphere due to differences in charge buildup in clouds and the ground. This flow of electrons creates a temporary pathway through the air, resulting in the visible discharge of electricity in the form of lightning.
Electrical current is the measure of the flow of electrons, measured in Amperes (Amps). An example would be to compare it with a fluid flow meter. As opposed to pressure, which is analogous to Voltage.
The two basic types of electricity are static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity involves the build-up of charge on an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Static electricity Current electricity Direct current (DC) Alternating current (AC) Electric power
Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.
As 'electricity' is not a quantity and, therefore, cannot be measured, you will need to be more specific as to what you are asking. For example, are you referring to current, voltage, etc?
An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.
