Question 2 of 31beginner🧠 RememberShort Answer2 marks
Define the unit of current.
Correct Answer
The SI unit of electric current is ampere (A). It is named after the French scientist, Andre-Marie Ampere.
One ampere is defined as the current constituted by the flow of one coulomb of charge per second. This means if one coulomb of charge flows through a conductor in one second, the magnitude of current is one ampere. Mathematically, it is expressed as 1 A = 1 C / 1 s.
