Electric Current and Conductors Quiz

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point in the circuit.

The flow of electric current in a conductor is affected by factors such as the voltage applied, the resistance of the conductor, and the material of the conductor.

The relationship between electric current and resistance in a conductor is described by Ohm's law, which states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.
