Understanding +4 | -1

Consider the following statements and select the correct statement(s).

I. Current is the time rate of flow of charge through any cross-section

II. For a given conductor current does not change with change in cross-sectional area

III. The net charge in a current carrying conductor is infinite

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

I and II

Option A (I and II) is correct because current is the rate of charge flow, and it remains constant for a given conductor regardless of cross-sectional area changes.
