Answer
- An electric current is defined as the flow of electric charges through a conductor such that the potential difference between the two points in the conductor is responsible for the flow of electric current.
- Ampere is the unit of electric It is defined as 1 coulomb of charge flowing through a cross-section of a conductor in 1 second such that the electric current flowing through the conductor is 1 ampere.
