The SI unit of electric current is the
Aampere
Bvolt
Cohm
Dcoulomb
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. ampere
1. Electric current is the rate of flow of charge.
2. Its SI unit is the **ampere (A)**: 1 A = 1 coulomb per second.
3. Volt is for potential difference, ohm for resistance, coulomb for charge.
