Current flow is quantified in which unit?

Volts
Watt
Amperes
Ohms

The correct answer is: Amperes

Current flow in an electrical circuit is quantified in amperes, often shortened to "amps." Amperes measure the amount of electric charge that flows through a conductor over a period of time. Specifically, one ampere is defined as one coulomb of charge passing through a point in a circuit in one second. This measurement is crucial in understanding how much current is being used in electrical systems, including those found in recreational vehicles. The other options represent different electrical measurements: volts measure the electrical potential difference, watts quantify power (which is the rate of energy transfer), and ohms measure resistance within a circuit. Each of these units relates to electrical systems but pertains to different aspects of electrical flow rather than current itself. Therefore, when focusing on the direct measurement of current flow, amperes is the appropriate unit to use.
