Another name for current in electricity is _________.

Another name for current in electricity is _________.

• A. Voltage
• B. Resistance
• C. Amperage
• D. Power

Answer: (C)

Current is the flow of electric charges through a conductor. The amount of that flow is called amperage, measured in amperes (amps). One ampere means one coulomb of charge passing a point every second. Voltage is the potential difference that pushes charges, not the amount of current itself; resistance is what opposes the flow; power is the rate of energy transfer (P = V × I). Because amperage specifically names the quantity of current, it’s the appropriate term for “another name for current.”
