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.

Something that will not let electricity flow through it?

Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.


What elements allow electricity to pass through?

Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons.

Who inventad current?

To give the answer most accurately, Electrical current was not "invented". Electrical current is the rate of flow of electricity in a conducting substance, and the unit of the flow of that current in the International System of units is the Amp or Ampere, named after the 19th Century French Physicist Andre-Marie Ampere. It was not invented because it simply existed before invention of artificial electricity. The example I have in mind for such natural electricity is the flow of electrical current through a tree when it is struck by lightning.
