Question
We often say, "A current is going through the wire." What goes through the wire, the charge or the current?
Short Note
Solution
When there is a transfer of charge through a wire, current is said to be flowing through it. It is the electron/charge that drifts through the wire. The assertions "charge is going" and "current is going through the wire" are correct, as they signify the same thing, that is, flow of charge.
