    current is the flow of electron or charge in a unit of time.

    when voltage is applied electrons move towards the anode(+ve). current flow towards the cathode (-ve).so it flow in the opposite direction of electron flow.

    depends upon the voltage

    V=RI if voltage is more then the current will be more so movement or speed of the electron will be more
