Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate at which electric charge flows through a conductor. There are two types of current: direct current (DC), which flows in one direction, and alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.

Current is the rate of flow of electric charge. It is measured in amperes (A), and is defined as the amount of charge that flows past a point in a circuit per unit time.
Current is caused by the movement of charged particles, usually electrons. When a potential difference is applied to a circuit, the charged particles are accelerated by the electric field and begin to move. The flow of these charged particles constitutes an electric current.
The strength of an electric current depends on the number of charged particles flowing past a point per second, and on the charge of each particle. The greater the number of charged particles flowing past a point per second, or the greater the charge of each particle, the stronger the current.
Electric current is a fundamental quantity in electricity, and is used to calculate many other electrical quantities, such as voltage, resistance, and power.
