define electric current

The directed flow of negative charges (i.e. electrons) through a wire is called an electric current.

The rate of flow of charge(electrons) .

 I=Q/t

I=Electric current

Q=ne that is number of electrons

Electrical current is a measure of the amount of electrical charge transferred per unit time. It represents the flow of electrons through a conductive material.

Current is a scalar quantity (though in circuit analysis, the direction of current is relevant). The SI unit of electrical current is the ampere, defined as 1 coulomb/second.

Electric current is the flow of electricity through a conductor. An electric current is a flow of electric charge through an electrical conductor.Electric charge flows when there is voltage present across a conductor.

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 a plasma.
The SI unit for measuring an electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charges through a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. Electric current can be measured using an ammeter.
