Question
Question 1
Part (a) Select all the correct statements about electric current.
The electric current in a wire is a flow of electrons, while by convention we think of it as
a flow of positive charges in the opposite direction.
Question 2
The electric current flowing at a point along a conducting wire is the amount of charge
flowing per unit time through the wire's cross-sectional area at that point.
The flowing charges forming an electric current can be positive or negative charged
particles.
The electric current in a wire is a flow of positive charges.
An electric current can flow in a wire in the absence of a potential difference along the
wire.
Part (b) Select all the correct statements.
Ohm's law can be written in the form I = RAV.
The resistance of a wire depends on the wire's resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area.
All wires made of the same material at the same temperature have the same resistance.
Ohm's law can be written in the form AV = IR.
The resistance of a wire depends only on the resistivity of the wire's material.
