Answer:

Ampere (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of electron flow in a circuit corresponds to the current in the circuit, defined as:


I=(Q)/(t)

where Q is the amount of charge that passes through a given point in the circuit in a time interval of t.

The charge Q is measured in Coulombs (C), while the time t is measured in seconds (s), so the unit of measurement of the current is


[I]=([C])/([s])

and this unit is called Ampere, and it is indicated with [A].
