Answer:When the amount of charge carriers in the conductor decreases then the electric current also decreases.
Explanation:The electric current in a circuit is produced when free charge carriers move under the applied voltage. This occurs due to Electric Field which causes charges to move in the metal from one point to another. Since electrons are the free charge carriers in an atom so the electrons move to the positive side. Due to the movement of electrons, a current begins to flow in the closed-loop from positive to the negative direction.
