1) Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charges through a surface area. The unit of current is the ampere. 2) Electric potential difference between two points is the work required to move a unit charge between those points. It is measured in volts. 3) Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends, provided the temperature remains constant. The relationship is defined by the formula I=V/R, where R is the resistance of the material.
