Electric current through a conductor is said to be 1 ampereIf 1 coulomb charge flows through any cross- section of the conductor in 1second is said to be 1 ampere
When 1 coulomb of charge is flow through a circuit in one second then it is said to be 1 ampere of current flowingh through it.DerivationLet q=1c T=1s Hence we know rate of flow of charge is known as current Then , I=q/t I=1c/1s i.e 1c/s is called 1 amp .
An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second. … The ampere is named after Andre Marie Ampere, French physicist (1775-1836).
