Question

Electricity is the flow of electrons. The following questions relate to how electricity is quantified.1. Electrons are charged particles. The amount of charge that passes per unit time is calleda. potentialb. currentc. voltage2. The driving force for the electrons (i.e., the reason they are flowing in the first place) is measured bya. chargeb. currentc. potential3. Charge is measured ina. amperes (A)b. coulombs (C)c. joules (J)d. volts (V)4. Current is measured ina. amperes (A)b. coulombs (C)c. joules (J)d. volts (V)5. Potential is measured ina. amperes (A)b. coulombs (C)c. joules (J)d. volts (V)

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option are:

1.  (b) current

2. (c) potential

3.  (b) coulombs (C)

4.  (a) amperes (A)

5.  (d) volts (V)

Explanation:

Electric charge is a property of a particle, like electron and proton. The subatomic particles, electrons and protons are negatively and positively charged particles, respectively.

The electric charge of a particle can be measured in coulomb, denoted by C.

Current or electric current is defined as the net flow of the electric charges through a given region, per unit time. Electric current can be measured in ampere, denoted by A.

Potential or Electric potential is described as the work done to displace the electric charges from one point to another. Potential is the driving force for the movement of charges and can be calculated in volt, denoted by V.
