Question
An electric current is
- Flow of charges
- Flow of electrons
- Flow of load
- Making of an electric circuit
Hint:
Electric current is the rate of change of electric charge through a circuit.
The correct answer is: Flow of charges
An electric current is the flow of charges.
- The electric current is the flow of charges in a circuit or a system where it is generated.
- It depends on the rate of the electron flow.
- Thus, the electric current can be also defined as the flow of electrons in a conductor.
