Understanding Electric Current
Electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).
The SI base unit of electric current is the Ampere (A), which is defined as the flow of one Coulomb of charge per second.
