Solution

The statement that is NOT TRUE about Electric current is: "Electric current is how much positive charges flow in a conductor."

Explanation: Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of negative charges (electrons) in a conductor, not positive charges. The direction of electric current is conventionally the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the actual direction of electron flow is opposite to that of the current.
