Multiple Choice Question (MCQ)
Question: What is the formula for Quantity of electricity (Q)?
A.
Current x Time
B.
Voltage x Current
C.
Current x Resistance
D.
Voltage x Resistance
Correct Answer: Current x Time
Explanation
The unit of quantity of electricity is called the coulomb.
A coulomb is the quantity of electricity which passes any point in a circuit in 1 second when a steady current of 1 ampere is flowing. It follows that the total quantity of electricity Q, in coulombs, which passes any point in an electric circuit is given by multiplying the current I, in amperes, by the time t, in seconds.
The formula for Quantity of Electricity (Q) is = Current x Time
