What is meant by electric current? |
|
Answer» Electric Current is the rate of flow of charge, I = Q/t where I is current, Q is charge and t is time. It is a scalar quantity. i.e it has only magnitude no direction. Ampere is SI unit of current. 1 ampere is defined as the current when 1 C of charge is passing through a conductor for 1 second. The direction of current is from A to B. It moves in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons, i.e current flows from positive terminal to negative terminal. |
