What term describes the flow of electrical charge?

• A. Current
• B. Voltage
• C. Resistance
• D. Grounding

Answer: (A)

Current is the flow of electrical charge. It represents the rate at which charge passes a point in a circuit, measured in amperes. This flow is what delivers energy to devices; the driving force behind it is voltage, while resistance determines how easily charges can move. Grounding isn’t the flow itself but a safety reference path. Ohm’s law ties them together: I = V / R, so higher voltage or lower resistance yields more current. Conventional current is the direction positive charges would move, even though electrons actually travel opposite in most conductive materials.
