Electric current is best described as
Athe rate of flow of electric charge
Bthe total energy stored in a conductor
Cthe resistance offered by a wire
Dthe force acting on electrons
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. the rate of flow of electric charge
Electric current is defined as the amount of charge flowing per unit time, $I=\dfrac{Q}{t}$. It is not energy, resistance, or force.
