Correct option is D
The correct answer is (d)
Explanation:
Electric current (I) is defined as the rate of flow of charge (Q) per unit time (t).
Mathematically, it is given by:
where:
- I = Electric current (Ampere, A)
- Q = Charge (Coulombs, C)
- t = Time (Seconds, s)
Unit of Current: 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb/1 second (A = C/s).
Thus, the correct relation is I = \frac{Q}{t}, making option D the correct answer.
Information Booster:
- Charge (Q) is measured in Coulombs (C).
- 1 Coulomb is the charge carried by 6.242 × 10¹⁸ electrons.
- The direction of the current is opposite to the flow of electrons.
Current types:
- Direct Current (DC) → Flows in one direction (e.g., batteries).
- Alternating Current (AC) → Changes direction periodically (e.g., household electricity).
