Moderate

Steady current does not change with respect to _.

Correct answer: C. Time

  • A. Conductor
  • B. Source
  • C. Time
  • D. Potential difference

Explanation

Option A) Conductor, is not the correct answer because the amount of current flowing through a conductor can vary depending on its resistance, length, cross-sectional area, and other physical properties. Option B) Source is also not the correct answer because the amount of current supplied by a source can vary depending on its voltage, internal resistance, and other factors. Option C) A constant current (steady current, time-independent current, stationary current) is a type of direct current (DC) that does not change its intensity with time. Option D) Potential difference, is also not the correct answer because the amount of current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across it, according to Ohm's law. Therefore, if the potential difference changes, the current will also change proportionally.

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.
