alleryWhat is an electric current, in simple terms?
AA flow of charged particles
BA store of heat energy
CA pull between magnets
DA push of sound waves
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A flow of charged particles
1. Electric current is the flow of charged particles such as electrons or ions.
2. Heat storage, magnet pull and sound waves are different physical ideas.
3. So the flow of charged particles is the answer.
