If you're talking water current, it could be gallons per hour, liters per second, acre feet per month, feet per second, mile per hour, etc. Any time rate of volume or distance.

If you're talking electrical current, then the unit is almost certainly 'Amperes' .

Answer:

Ampere

Explanation:

The ampere is the unit of measurement in the international system. Its equal to a coulomb/second. It can be describe as the rate of charges flowing throught a conductor

Complete Question

Answer:

The potential of this system is $U=6.75*10^{-7}J$

The electric potential at point p is $V_p= -900V$

The work required is $W= 9*10^{-7}J$

The speed of the charge is $v=600m/s$

Explanation:

A sketch to explain the question is shown on the second uploaded image

Generally the potential energy for a system of two charges is mathematically represented as

$U = \frac{kq_1 q_2}{d}$

where k is the electrostatic constant with a value of $k = 9*10^9 N m^2 /C^2$

q is the charge with a value of $q = 1*10^{-9}C$

d is the distance given as $d =5m$

Now we are given that $q_1 = q$ and $q_2 = 3q$ and

Now substituting values

$U = \frac{9*10^9 *1*10^{-9} * 3*10^{-9}}{5}$

$U=6.75*10^{-7}J$

The electric potential at point P is mathematically obtained with the formula

$V_p = V_{-q} + V_{-3q}$

I.e the potential at $q_1$ plus the potential at $q_2$

Now potential at $q_1$ is mathematically represented as

$V_{-q} = \frac{-kq}{s}$

and the potential at $q_2$ is mathematically represented as

$V_{-3q} = \frac{-3kq}{s}$

Now substituting into formula for potential at P

$V_p = \frac{-kq}{s} + \frac{-3kq}{s} = -\frac{4kq}{s}$

$= \frac{4*9*10^9 *1*10^{-9}}{4*10^{-2}}$

$V_p= -900V$

The Workdone to bring the third negative charge is mathematically evaluated as

$W =\Delta U = \frac{kq_1q_3}{s} + \frac{kq_2q_3}{s}$

$= \frac{kq*q}{s} + \frac{kq*3q}{s}$

$= \frac{4kq^2}{s}$

$= \frac{4* 9*10^9 * (1*10^{-9})^2}{4*10^{-2}}$

$W= 9*10^{-7}J$

From the Question are told that the charge $q_3$ would a force and an acceleration which implies that all its potential energy would be converted to kinetic energy.This can be mathematically represented as
