One ampere of current is equivalent to which rate of charge flow?
AOne coulomb per hour
BOne joule per second
COne coulomb per second
DOne volt per second
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. One coulomb per second
1. The definition of the ampere links it directly to coulombs and seconds.
2. One ampere is stated to equal one coulomb per second, written 1 A = 1 C/s.
3. Joules per second is the unit of power, not current, so that option does not match.
