Current
One ampere of curent is equal to the charge of 6,240,000,000,000,000,000 electrons flowing past a given point in a circuit per second.
Current in amperes is coulombs per second, so 2 coulombs per second is 2 amperes.
The direction of the force that drives the machine is determined by the relative directions of the field and the armature current. By reversing the direction of both field and the armature current, the direction of the resulting force stays the same; you have to reverse the direction of one or the other; not both! Prove it for yourself, by applying Fleming's Left-Hand Rule (for conventional current flow); reverse the direction of both your first finger (field) and your second finger (armature current), and you thumb (direction of motion) will end up pointing in the same direction!
If a battery sends a current of 10A through a circuit for one hour how many coulombs will flow through the circuit?
The term that describes the amount of charge that passes a point in a circuit each second is current, measured in amperes (A).
DC machine
An ampere is defined as the charge passing through a point in a circuit per second. In other words, one ampere is equivalent to one coulomb of charge passing through a point in a circuit in one second.
The numerical representation of one coulomb of charge moving past a point in a circuit per second is called an ampere.
2 amperes
The current (or electrons if you will {but thought of as flowing in the opposite direction} in a DC circuit flows only in one direction. In an AC circuit the current periodically flows in the opposite direction (in the US this usually happens 120 times a second, so 60 cycles per second.)
Charge, in the form of electrons, flow through a circuit. This is called electric current. 1 amp = 1 coulomb of charge per second flowing past a point in the circuit.
The measure of electric charge is the coulomb (C). It is defined as the amount of charge that flows through a circuit when a current of 1 ampere flows for 1 second.
A coulomb is a unit of electrical charge. It is the charge that passes a point in an electrical circuit in one second when a current of 1 ampere is flowing through the point.
In an AC circuit, the current flows in one direction and then reverses periodically. The change in direction of the current does not affect the overall flow of electric charge. The alternating direction of the current allows power to be transmitted efficiently over long distances and is commonly used in household electricity supply.
Any quick change of direction requires a powerful force (according to Newton's Second Law).
