Think about current like a group of ants marching in a line. Each ant follows the one in front and together, they move from one place to another. In the same way, current is like a group of tiny electric charges moving through a wire, all in a line, from one place to another. These charges are like little soldiers, all marching together to make something work, like turning on a light.
Another way to think about current is like a river. The water in a river flows from one place to another, always moving, always carrying things along with it. In electricity, the current flows like the water, but instead of water, it’s made of those tiny electric charges. Just like a river can be fast or slow, the current can be strong or weak, depending on how many charges are moving.
Imagine a train on tracks. Each train car is connected to the next, moving together in a line. This is similar to how current works in a circuit, with each charge following the one ahead, all moving smoothly to power things we use every day, like toys or TVs.
