The flow of charge is called the current and it is the rate at which electric charges pass though a conductor. ... Let's say an electrical line is connected to the left and the middle. If the gray bar is at the left, then the circuit will have small resistance because the length of the black wire outside is shorter.

Current is the rate at which charge passes a given point in a wire. If you were somehow able to count the charges as they went by in a wire carrying 1 ampere (1 A) of current, you would discover that every second an entire Coulomb of charge passes by.
