Question
<p> Define the unit of electric current (or Define ampere).
Advertisements
Solution
The SI unit of electric current is ampere.
When one coulomb of charge flows through any cross-section of a conductor in one second, the electric current flowing through it is said to be one ampere.
1 ampere= `(1coulomb)/(1second)`
