What is current

Current

Current: a measure of the flow of electricity

Voltage is not the part of electricity that moves through a wire. The part of electricity that
moves through a wire is current.

Current is measured in amperes or amps.

If you know anything about fuses, you know that fuses are rated by how much current can flow
through them without melting and then stopping the flow of current because of the broken,
melted wire.

Too much current, then, will get wires hot and melt them. In an arc flash, there is so much
current that parts not only melt, but they vaporize and explode.
