Question

sara read in a book that in 1800, the italian physicist alessandro volta observed that two metals connected by a conducting liquid produced a continuous transfer of electrons. this phenomenon was different from the rapid static discharge observed by benjamin franklin. saras book was describing voltas observation of: resistance. static electricity. electric current. superconductivity.

Explanation:

Electric current is the continuous flow of electric charge (electrons). Volta's observation of a continuous transfer of electrons between two metals connected by a conducting liquid describes the generation of an electric current. Resistance is opposition to current flow, static electricity is a non - moving charge buildup, and superconductivity is zero - resistance flow at low temperatures, none of which match the description.

Answer:

C. electric current
