A student measures a current as 0.05 A. Which of the following correctly expresses this result?

Correct answer: A. 50 mA

  • A. 50 mA
  • B. 50 µA
  • C. 500 mA
  • D. 500 µA

Explanation

The current of 0.05 A can be expressed as 50 mA because 'milli' means one thousandth, making 0.05 A equivalent to 50 milliamperes. Option A is correct. Option B (50 µA) and Option D (500 µA) are incorrect because microamperes are much smaller than milliamperes. Option C (500 mA) is incorrect because it represents a larger current than 0.05 A.
