ARate of flow of electric charge through a conductor
BQuantity of charge stored in a conductor
CEnergy supplied by the battery per second
DMagnetic field created around a wire
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor
1. The chapter defines current as charge per unit time.
2. Mathematically I = Q / t.
3. Higher charge flowing per second means a larger current.
4. So option A is correct.
