To determine the correct unit for electric current, let's analyze the options given:
A. Volts – Volts (V) are the unit for electric potential or electromotive force, not electric current.
B. Joules per second – Joules per second (J/s) is the unit for power, which is also known as Watts (W), and measures the rate of energy transfer, not electric current.
C. Amps – Amps (A) are the unit for electric current. An ampere measures the flow of electric charge per unit time. One ampere is equal to one coulomb of charge passing through a point in a circuit per second.
D. Ohms – Ohms (Ω) are the unit for electrical resistance, not electric current.
Given these definitions, the correct unit for electric current is:
C. Amps
