The generally accepted definition of electrical current is "the flow of electrons." But some people criticize this definition on the basis that: (1) it cannot explain how current (a signal) flows at the speed of light, (2) it cannot explain how current "flows" across the plates of a capacitor, and (3) it cannot explain how current can be induced in a conductor some distance away. This article shows that these criticisms are not valid. Electron flow, properly understood, can occur at the speed of light, and some of the component laws on which Maxwell's Equations are based are fully capable of explaining the other phenomena.
