One ampere of electric current is correctly defined as:

1. Flow of 1 coulomb charge in 1 minute
2. Flow of 1 coulomb charge in 1 second
3. Flow of 1 joule energy in 1 second
4. Flow of 1 volt potential per second

Correct answer: Flow of 1 coulomb charge in 1 second

Solution

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge. One ampere corresponds to one coulomb of charge flowing in one second.
