An electric current carries electrons from an area of high  potential to another area of low potential. Potential difference is  the condition that must exist for a current â¦ to move electrons  around.
The SI unit of charge, the coulomb, is the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere. Conversely, a current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second: In general, charge Q is determined by steady current I flowing for a time t as Q = It.
