Question

What constitutes one ampere of current? Write in one sentence.

Answer 1

When 1 coulomb of of electric charge flows through a circuit in 1 second, the current in the circuit is termed as 1 ampere.

Answer 2

Transfer of charge of 1 Coulomb per second across a cross section.

That current which, when passing through a resistance of 1 ohm, produces a potential difference of 1 V across its terminals.

“Internattional Amoere” was later defined as “A current that would deposit 0.001118 grams of silver from silver nitrate solution”. Later, more accurate measurement showed this current to be 0.99985 Ampere
