🔍 Key Concepts

• The basic definition of amperage (ampere) in electrical circuits • The relationship between charge movement (electrons) and current • How textbooks usually define electric current in simple terms

💭 Think About

• Think about what an ammeter measures in a circuit and how that is usually described in words. • Which option best matches the standard definition of amperage used in basic electrical theory? • Are any of the answer choices descriptions of electron behavior rather than common names for amperage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the usual wording: amperage is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point in a circuit. • Check whether each option is a widely accepted synonym for amperage or just a related physical idea. • Be sure the choice you pick would be used in a basic electrical/electronics textbook to define or rename amperage.
