Correct Answer:
B. Ampere
In the study of electricity, specific units are used to quantify different electrical properties. Understanding these units is fundamental to electrical engineering and physics.
- The Ampere (option B), often shortened to 'amp', is the SI unit of electric current. It measures the rate of flow of electric charge.
- The Volt (option A) is the unit of electric potential difference, or voltage.
- The Ohm (option C) is the unit of electrical resistance.
- The Watt (option D) is the unit of power, representing the rate at which electrical energy is converted or consumed.
These units are distinct but interconnected, as described by Ohm's Law and other electrical principles.
