Question

Which one of the following

statements about electric
current is correct?
- Current is calculated as the amount of charge that pass
a point on a circuit per time.
- Current is calculated as the amount of resistance a
charge encounters in a given time.
- Current is calculated as the amount of energy a charge
loses per unit of time.
- Current is calculated as the distance that a charge
moves per unit of time

Answer 1

Current is calculated as the amount of charge that pass a point on a circuit per time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric current is defined as the amount of charge that passes a point on a circuit per unit time. The mathematical definition of electric current is given by :

`I=(q)/(t)`

Where

q is a charge (Coulomb)

t is time (in seconds)

The SI unit of electric current is A. It is equivalent to C/s. So, the correct option is (A).
