Which of the following statements about "current" is INCORRECT?

• Current is the flow of electrical charge.

• In a metals, current is the flow of negatively charged particles (electrons).

• In a battery, your body, or other wet places, current is the flow of both positive and negative charges.

• When current flows through a closed circuit, charges flow in a complete loop through the wire and battery.

• None of the other 4 statements are INCORRECT.
