A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/13/O/N/24
Question 31 from 9702/13/O/N/24

Explanation

Electric current defined as charge flow

Steps:

  • Recall the basic definition of electric current in physics.
  • Identify that current involves movement of charged particles.
  • Match the definition to the provided choices.
  • Confirm A aligns with standard scientific terminology.

Why A is correct:

  • Electric current is defined as the flow of charge carriers, such as electrons or ions, per the formula I = ΔQ/Δt, where I is current and Q is charge.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B: Energy carriers describe power transmission, not current itself.
  • C: An electron is a single charge carrier, not the flow defining current.
  • D: Charge on a particle is static property, unrelated to current's dynamic flow.

Final answer: A
