Here's why:
* Electric current is defined as the amount of electric charge passing a point in a circuit per unit time.
* Charge is a fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative.
* Flow refers to the movement of charge carriers (usually electrons) through a conductor.
Therefore, the rate of flow of charge is directly measured by electric current, usually expressed in units of Amperes (A). One Ampere is equal to one Coulomb of charge flowing per second.
