Electric current is a flow of electrons is a measure of the quantity of electrical charge passing any point of the wire in a unit time.And, electric current is measured in ampere (A).Whereas, electric charge is the quantity of electricity that flows in electric currents .
And , it is measured in coulomb (C)

What is the difference between the movement of electric charge in a solution and the transfer of electric charge between solid objects?
Compare and contrast the movement of electric charge in a solution with the transfer of electric charge between solid objects?
What is the difference between electric charge and ion?
An electric current goes through an electric circuit, if it is closed.
What condition is necessary for electric charge to flow?
A difference in charge
What is the relation between energy and charge?
The relationship between energy and charge is potential difference or voltage. Where a volt is defined as existing between two points in an electric field when one joule of energy is required to move a charge of one coulomb between the two points.
Is it true for an electric current to flow only if two objects have a different charge?
Only if there is a potential difference between two points, does the charge move specifically in a direction.
What moves water besides currents and electric charge?
gravity, water pressure, air pressure, buckets, etc.
In an electric field 0.90 J of work is required to bring 0.45 C of charge from point A to point B. What is the electric potential difference between points A and B?
nn
What is the difference between amps and horsepower?
Amp is the measure of electric charge per unit of time.Horse power is the measure of the output of machinery, such as piston engines, turbines and electric motors.
What is the difference between neutrons and protons?
protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge...
What is volt of electricity?
Voltage is the measure of the electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is the amount of potential energy per unit charge available to move electrons from one point to another. Voltage is measured in units called volts, symbolized by the letter V.
What is the Difference between line charge density and surface charge density?
The electric field of an infinite line charge with a uniform linear charge density can be obtained by a using Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a cylinder at radius r, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the cylinder and is directed outward. The electric flux is then just the electric field times the area of the cylinder.
What unit shows the difference in charge between two points?
I don't think such a unit is used, or would make much sense, in physics. That sounds like the description of voltage - unit volt. However, the volt is not really a difference in electric charge, but rather, of electric potential. It can be understood as potential energy related to electric fields: if there is an electric potential between two points, it requires a certain amount of energy to move a unit charge from one point to the other. Thus, the unit volt is equivalent to joules / coulomb.
