The actual cause of current is nothing but the movement of charge particles.These charge particles may be electrons or holes. Electrons are the negatively charged particles,and charges are of two types either it is positive or negative.

Electron movement is the actual cause of current. Electron is olso a charge (negative charge). Those atom lose one or two electron is called as positively charged.

When you say charge's movement, it include both : electron movement and hole movement. In sense that holes are nothing but absence of electron, real "physical" entity that move is electron only. (In case of solid conductors).

electron are negatively charged and "holes" are positively charger. Holes are nothing but in turn created by absence of electron.

Actual cause of current is electron movement (which is turn cause charge (+ive and -ive charge movement). Protons (in nucleus) are in true sense positively charged , but they do not move (as nucleus in tightly coupled with lattice in solid conductors) (Note : story can change in special cases like superconductors) read less

Charge is a particle's capability to make an electric influence. This capability is called its charge. The influence is called Electric Force, and for a given space where it affects, is termed as Electric Field. Electron on the other hand is the particle, which has this capability. As for the movements,...

As for the movements, charge doesnt move. Electron does. But since the charge is embedded in the electron, many literature convey that charge moved. read less

what is the difference between electron and a charge? The unit of charge (called Coulombs, after the physicist who coined it) was developed before people knew about electrons and protons. When they discovered the source of the charge, they measured how much of the already established unit of charge was carried by a single electron. Since for most purposes, there are lots and lots of electrons involved, it's easier to use the older system. However, there is another system where the charge of an electron is 1e (e being the unit of electron charge). Different units are used for different purposes. The natural units system relies on setting fundamental constants to 1 unit and bases everything else off that. e is the charge of an electron. c is the speed of light, and h is plank's constant. In quantum mechanics, where they deal with individual atoms, these units are often used instead of meters, seconds, coulombs, kilograms, etc. Charge - there are two kinds of charge, positive and negative - like charges repel, unlike charges attract - positive charge comes from having more protons than electrons; - - negative charge comes from having more electrons than protons - charge is quantized, meaning that charge comes in integer multiples of the elementary charge e - charge is conserved read less

The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e? or ??, with a negative elementary electric charge.[7] Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family,[8] and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure.[1] The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.[9] Quantum mechanical properties of the electron include an intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of a half-integer value in units of ?, which means that it is a fermion. Being fermions, no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state, in accordance with the Pauli exclusion principle.[8] Like all matter, electrons have properties of both particles and waves, and so can collide with other particles and can be diffracted like light. The wave properties of electrons is easier to observe with experiments than that of other particles like neutrons and protons because electrons have a lower mass and hence a higher De Broglie wavelength for typical energies. read less
