The SI unit of electric current is the
AVolt (V)
BAmpere (A)
COhm (omega)
DCoulomb (C)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Ampere (A)
1. Current is measured in coulombs per second.
2. One coulomb per second is one ampere.
3. Volt is potential difference; ohm is resistance; coulomb is charge.
4. So the unit of current is ampere.
