Electric current may be defined as the?
Correct answer: A. Rate of flow of charge
- A. Rate of flow of charge
- B. Rate of flow of momentum
- C. Rate of flow of power
- D. None of these options is correct
Explanation
Electricity is the flow of electrons, also called charges which can be denoted by "Q". The formula for current is Q/t which translates to the "rate of flow of electrons or charge".

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
