The basic unit of current is the Ampere (or Amp). It is equal to one Coulomb of charge flowing past a point in 1 second.

The unit of electric current (symbol: I) is the Ampere, (symbol: A) and is named after French physicist Andre-Marie Ampere.
The Ampere can be defined in many ways
1) The ampere is the electric current generated when 1 coulomb of charge flows for 1 second. That is, I = Q/t where I is current in amperes, Q is charge, t is time.
2) it can also be defined in terms of the magnetic field around a current carrying conductor.
The ampere is the amount of current required to generate a magnetic flux density of 1 Tesla at unit length from a wire in a vacuum.
