Question
What is the name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
Answer Options
- A) Voltage
- B) Resistance
- C) Capacitance
- D) Current
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The movement of free electrons from atom to atom within a conductor, driven by a voltage potential, is called Current. Specifically, the rate of this flow is measured in Amperes (T5A01).
Think of current as the substance (electrons) flowing through the circuit. The other terms define the force that pushes the flow (Voltage), the opposition to the flow (Resistance), and the ability to store charge (Capacitance).
