Conservation of Electric Charge: Conservation of electric charge is a fundamental principle in physics that states that the total amount of electric charge in an isolated system remains constant over time. In other words, electric charge cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one object to another.

Current:

Current refers to the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire.

Coulomb's Law:

Coulomb's Law describes the force between two charged objects and depends on their charges and the distance between them.
