प्रश्न
Define the unit of current.
उत्तर १
The unit of electric current is ampere (A). 1 A is defined as the flow of 1 C of charge through a wire in 1 s.
उत्तर २
The unit of electric current is ampere (A). When 1 C of charge flows through a conductor in 1 s, it called 1 ampere (A) current.
I = `Q/t`
उत्तर ३
The SI unit of the electric current is ampere (A). The current flowing through a conductor is said to be one ampere when a charge of one coulomb flows across any cross-section of a conductor in one second. Hence,
1 ampere = \(\frac{1 \text { coulomb }}{1 \text { second }}\).
