electron

A sub-atomic particle with a negative quantised

{charge}. A flow of electrical {current} consists of the

unidirectional (on average) movement of many electrons. The

more mobile electrons are in a given material, the greater it

electrical conductance (or equivalently, the lower its

resistance).
