An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge.
In electric circuits this charge is often carried
by electrons moving through a wire.
The International System (SI) unit of electric current is
the ampere (A)

 Voltage, electric potential difference, is the
difference in electric potential between two points.
 The difference in electric potential between two points
(i.e., voltage) is defined as the work needed per unit of
charge to move a test charge between the two points.
 In the SI of Units, the derived unit for voltage is
named volt.

Electric power is the rate, per unit time, at
which electrical energy is transferred by an electric
circuit.
The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per second.
