Electric Current Overview
Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge. The SI Unit of electric current is the Ampere, which is equal to a flow of one coulomb per second. Electric current can be either direct or alternating. Direct Current (DC) flows in one direction only, while Alternating Current (AC) changes direction periodically. Electric currents… Read More

An ampere, often shortened to “amp,” is a unit of electric current. It is the rate at which electrons flow through a conductor. The SI unit of electric current is the ampere, equal to a flow of one Coulomb per second. The amperage rating of an electrical device measures how much current it can safely… Read More

An ampere, often shortened to “amp,” is a unit of electric current. It is the standard unit of measurement for electric current in the International System of Units (SI). One ampere is equal to one coulomb per second, or 6.241 × 10^18 electrons flowing past a given point in one second. The ampere was named… Read More
