(N/A) Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Mathematically,it is expressed as $I = \frac{Q}{t}$,where $I$ is the current,$Q$ is the net charge flowing through a cross-section,and $t$ is the time taken.
The $SI$ unit of electric current is the ampere $(A)$.
