The rate of flow of charge through any cross-section of a wire w.r.t. time is called electric current flowing through it.
Its SI unit is ampere (A).
The conventional direction of electric current is the direction of motion of positive charge.
The current is the same for all cross-sections of a conductor of non-uniform cross-section. Similar to the water flow, charge flows faster where the conductor is smaller in cross-section and slower where the conductor is larger in cross-section, so that charge rate remains unchanged.
If a charge revolves in a circle ...
