In which unit is electric current measured?

Electric current is measured in amperes, often abbreviated as "amps." The ampere is defined as the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Specifically, one ampere is equivalent to one coulomb of charge passing through a point in a circuit in one second. This unit is foundational in understanding electrical circuits and their behavior.

Volts measure voltage, which is the potential difference in electrical energy between two points. Ohms measure resistance, which quantifies how much a material opposes the flow of electric current. Watts measure power, which indicates the rate at which electrical energy is used or transferred. Each of these other units serves a different purpose in the context of electricity, but when it comes to quantifying the flow of electric current itself, amperes are the standard unit.
