electron
<electronics> 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).
