| - In Electric current the electric refers to electricity and the current refers to flow of electrical charge.
- Electric current is the flow of electric charge.
- Current (denoted as I) is a measure of the amount of charge moving through an area at a given time. The SI unit for current is the amp, equal to one coulomb per second. Current is related to resistance (R) and voltage (V) by the formula and to power (P) by Current divided by cross-sectional area is called current density, and is represented by J.

- Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit, measured in Coulombs/second which is named Amperes. In most DC electric circuits, it can be assumed that the resistance to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to voltage and resistance by Ohm's law. The standard abbreviations for the units are 1 A = 1C/s.
- The defintion of Electric Current is simply the flow of protons (positive charges) or the flow of electrons (negative charges). Many people use a river as an analogy to describe electric current As you can see in the picture of a river above, the flow of water down the river represents Electric Current. If electric current were to increase, it is like the amount of water increasing in a river. A little tid bit on... Conventional Current: Conventional current can be defined as just the flow of positive charge. Why electric current flows:

Conventional Current: Conventional current can be defined as just the flow of positive charge. Why electric current flows: There is a flow of charges (There is an electric current) when there is a force pushing it. In the case of electric current, this force is known as voltage. Voltage is what makes it possible for current to move. Using the same river analgy as before, voltage corresponds to the river drop. The downhill drop in the river makes the water move; the voltage makes the water move.
