Question

What constitutes an electric current?
Name the SI unit of electric charge.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An electric current is a flow of particles (electrons) flowing through wires and components. It is the rate of flow of charge. If the electric charge flows through a conductor, we say that there is an electric current in the conductor. In the circuits using metallic wires, electrons constitute a flow of charges

The SI derived unit of electric charge is the coulomb, which is defined as an ampere second.

Answer 2

Electric Current in a wire, where the charge carriers are electrons, is a measure of the quantity of charge passing any point of the wire per unit time.Coulomb is the S.I unit of electric charge
