❓ Short Questions – Current Electricity Notes
Q1: Define electric current.
Answer:
Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Q2: State Ohm’s Law.
Answer:
Ohm’s Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided temperature remains constant.
Q3: What is resistance?
Answer:
Resistance is the opposition offered by a conductor to the flow of electric current.
Q4: Define electric power.
Answer:
Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is consumed in a circuit.
Q5: What is Kirchhoff’s Current Law?
Answer:
Kirchhoff’s Current Law states that the total current entering a junction is equal to the total current leaving the junction.
