Charge and Current

• What is the unit of electric charge?

  Coulombs (C)
• What does electric charge represent in a circuit?

  It is the amount of electricity flowing around a circuit.
• How is current defined in terms of electric charge?

  Current (I) is the flow of electric charge.
• What is the unit of current?

  Amperes (A)
• What is the formula for calculating current?

  The formula is $I =$$\frac{Q}{t}$, where I is current, Q is charge, and t is time.
• What does the variable 't' represent in the current formula?

  't' represents time in seconds.
• In which direction is current considered to flow in a circuit?

  Current is considered to flow from the positive side of the battery to the negative side.
• What is the actual flow of electrons in a circuit compared to the direction of current?

  Electrons actually flow in the opposite direction of the current.
• What are the key concepts related to electric charge and current?


  • Electric charge (Q) is measured in coulombs (C).
  • Current (I) is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A).
  • Formula for current: $I =$$\frac{Q}{t}$.
  • Current flows from positive to negative in circuits, while electrons flow the opposite way.
