1 ampere is one Coulomb per second or 6.25E18 electrons per second.
Current. The flow of electrons is the flow of a moving charge. The rate of flow is current (the amount of charge that flows in a set time). The equation is: I = Qt Hope this helps.
The Ampere is the unit of measure of the amount current flow; one ampere is considered flowing through a 1 ohm resistance when being powered by 1 volt from a source.
A ampere is a measure of the flow rate of electricity a coulomb is an amount of electricity. So 1 ampere is a flow of electricity at the rate of 1 coulomb per second.AnswerStrictly speaking, as the ampere is an SI base unit whereas a coulomb is a derived unit, it is more accurate to say that 'a coulomb is an ampere second (A.s)'.With reference to the first answer, the ampere is the SI unit for electric current (not the 'flow rate of electricity', which is meaningless), and the coulomb is the SI unit for electric charge (not the 'amount of electricity'). 'Electricity' isn't a quantity, so it cannot be measured.
Saying the answer to that question is "Yes" would be incorrect, but, equally, saying the answer is "No" would also be incorrect!In asking about charge the question is asking about the wrong electrical unit because some charge by itself won't trip a circuit breaker: the charge has to flow at a high enough rate to cause the circuit breaker to trip.A circuit breaker works because it is designed to trip to cut off the flow of current if and when that current exceeds a certain amount.The rate of flow of charge is called an electrical current.An electrical current is measured in amperes - "amps" for short.One ampere is equivalent to a flow of charge of one coulomb in one second.Equally, one coulomb is defined as: the charge transported by a steady current of one ampere in one second.One coulomb is also defined as: the amount of excess charge on the positive side of a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential difference of one volt.
Yes that is exactly right. I =dq/dt Current in amps equals the number of Coulombs per second or [A] ⇔ [C/s]
The unit quantity of electricity is the Coulomb. The rate of electricity flow in coulombs per second is the Ampere, sometimes shortened to Amp. Note: current doesn't flow, instead current itself is a flow rate (flow of coulombs of charge per second.) When coulombs are flowing, the flow rate is measured in amperes.
The SI unit for measuring an electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulombper second.

Current is rate of flow of charge, so 1 ampere = 1 coulomb per second. As ampere and seconds are both fundamental units (and coulomb is derived), a coulomb has the dimensions [current][time] i.e. As
Rate of flow of charge is called electric current. Generally we knows current means flow.... here rate of flow of charge means how much charge flows in a given time is called electric current
Current is the rate of charge flow
In an ammeter, the magnitude of the electric current - that which is measured in amperes - is measured via the magnetic deflection it causes in a needle. Note that this measures the flow of electric charge; it doesn't tell you specifically whether what is moving is electrons.
Electron flow is known as 'current' the unit of current is an amp
Units of current are ampere which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second.The ampere is that constant currentwhich, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
Electron flow is known as current. SI unit is Ampere
The rate of flow of electric charge isamperage."Amperage" is slang. The correct term is current.
