A flow of electric charge, it is measured in amperes (A)
Real World Example
Imagine being in a crowded amusement park where everyone is trying to get to the latest roller coaster ride. This situation is similar to electric current, where the flow of people heading towards the ride mirrors the flow of electric charge through a circuit. Just as the number of people passing a certain point per minute can tell you how crowded and busy the path is, electric current is measured in amperes (A) to indicate how much charge is passing through a point in the circuit per second.
