The time rate of flow of electric charge, usually through a metal wire or some other electrical conductor (see current). The flow of current also produces a magnetic field.
In the SI system of units, electric current is measured in Amperes or Coulomb/second.
Ohms Law predicts the current in an ideal resistor to be the quotient of applied voltage over electrical resistance.
