Question

The electric current flows in a conductor due to:

• A. The potential difference.
• B. The temperature of the conductor.
• C. The area of the conductor.
• D. The weight of the conductor.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The potential difference.

Electric current is defined as the amount of charge flowing through a given cross-sectional area of a conductor per unit time. It is denoted by "I".

I = $\frac{Q}{t}$ where "Q" is charge and "t" is the time.

The electric current flows in a circuit due to the potential difference applied.
