Question

Which of the following correctly represents the formula for electric current?

Options

• \[I = Q \times t\]

• \[I = \frac{Q}{t}\]

• \[I = \frac{t}{Q}\]

• \[I = \frac{Q^2}{t}\]

Answer 1

Electric current is given by \[I = \frac{Q}{t}\], where I is the electric current, Q is the charge flowing through the conductor, and t is the time taken. Since current is the rate of flow of charge, charge is divided by time.
