For your better entry test preparation and better Physics MCQs preparation, in this section, we are going to post Current Electricity MCQs.
An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits, this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionised gas (plasma).
