Electric current is defined as:

Answer: Rate of flow of charge.

  • A Rate of flow of voltage
  • B Rate of flow of charge
  • C Force per unit charge
  • D Charge per unit area

Correct answer: B. Rate of flow of charge

Explanation: Electric current I = dQ/dt = charge flowing per unit time. Unit: Ampere (A) = Coulomb/second.

In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.

Concept context

Ohm's law, resistors, Kirchhoff's laws, Wheatstone bridge, and cells.
