There are two types of current that are typically discussed: conventional current and electron current. Moving forward, we will use the word "current" to refer to conventional current, the flow of positive charges from the positive end of the battery to the negative end of the battery, as is the standard way of discussing current in circuits. Electron current flows in the opposite direction of conventional current.
Electric Current is the flow of electric charge and has units of Amps (\(\mathrm{C}/\mathrm{s}\)). It is defined as the rate of positive charge flowing past a given point in a circuit per unit time:
\begin{equation*}
I = \frac{dq}{dt}
\end{equation*}
Recall the circuit (Circuit Diagram) from Voltage. Do you think that the current passing through element B is greater than, less than, or equal to the current passing through element A? Explain your answer.
