What is current and how is it measured? Current is the amount of electricity that is flowing around a circuit. Current is measured in Amps. One Amp is equal to 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electrons per second. Current is measured using an ammeter. It does not matter where the current is measured in the circuit as it is the same everywhere.

Physicists consider current to flow from relatively positive points to relatively negative points; this is called conventional current or Franklin current. Electrons, the most common charge carriers, are negatively charged. They flow from relatively negative points to relatively positive points.
