The flow of current is governed by Ohm's law, which states that the current flowing

through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it and


inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor. This relationship is used to
design and optimize electrical circuits and systems.

Current can be dangerous if not handled properly. High currents can cause electrical
shocks, burns, and fires, and can damage electrical equipment. Safety precautions
such as using insulated tools, wearing protective gear, and following proper
procedures for handling electrical equipment can help reduce the risks associated
with current.

In conclusion, current is a fundamental concept in the study of electricity and plays a


critical role in the functioning of electrical devices and systems. It is essential to
understand the properties of current, such as its direction and magnitude, as well as
the risks associated with its flow, to ensure safe and efficient use of electrical
equipment.
