"Electric current is defined as the amount of electric charge  passing through a cross section of a conductor in unit time."

                                                                              OR
"The rate of flow of electric charge through a cross section of a conductor is called Electric Current". 



 Mathematically 
                                          Electric current = electric charge / time
                                                                 I     = Q/t
Unit of electric current is AMPERE.
     1 ampere = 1 coulomb / 1 sec
AMPERE
In S.I system unit of electric current is ampere.
Ampere is defined as:
                      “Current through a conductor will be 1 ampere if one coulomb of electric
 
                            charge passes through any cross section of conductor in 1 second.” 
                                
                                        1 ampere = 1 coulomb / 1 sec

There are two types of current.
ELECTRONIC CURRENT

Electronic current flows from negative to positive terminal.
CONVENTIONAL CURRENT

Direction of conventional current is taken from higher potential to the lower potential.
