Hey,
The rate of flow of electrons in any electric circuit across a conducting medium from a point or region is known as current. It is measured in ampere and it is the S.I of current.
Ammeter is the instrument which is used to measure the rate of flow of electrons from a point or region and it is always applied in series to the circuit.
I hope this helps.
All the best!
