whats the difference between quantity and current?

Answer 1

Quantity:
In physics, work is defined as a force acting upon an object to cause a displacement. There are three key words in this definition - force, displacement, and cause. In order for a force to qualify as having done work on an object, there must be a displacement and the force must cause the displacement.

In Physics:
Current is the rate at which charge flows past a point, identify the units for electric current, and computations regarding electric current.

Answer 2

Current, electrically speaking, is the number, a very large number, Coulomb's number, of electron passes a point in a wire in one second, you have one ampere of current. The number of electrons is the quantity, and stating that in units of Coulomb's number per second (C/s) is amperes.
C = 6.2 x 10^18 = 6.2 quintillions of electrons (US number system)
6,200,000,000,000,000,000 electrons/sec = 1 A

Answer 3

Current is quantity. An ampere second is a coulomb of electrons.

Answer 4

Quantity is a discrete amount of "stuff" (1,000 electrons, 63 cubic feet of water)

Current is the amount of "stuff" per time increment (1,000 electrons per second, 63 cubic feet of water per hour)
