- Which are true? a) Current is the total amount of charge that passes through a conductor's full cross section at any point per unit time. b) By convention, the direction of a current is taken to be the direction of flow for negative charges. c) When an electric field is applied to a conductor, the free electrons move only in the direction opposite the applied electric field. d) In order to maintain a steady flow of current in a conductor, a steady force must be maintained on the mobile charges. e) In a circuit, current is delivered by the positive terminal of a battery, and it is used up by the time it returns to the negative terminal of the battery.arrow_forwardI NEED HELP ASAP 1.
