  • What is the definition of charge?
    Charge is a measure of total current over time
  • How can charge be compared to water flow?
    Charge is like total water flowed over time
  • What symbol represents charge?
    Charge is represented by the letter q
  • In what unit is charge measured?
    Charge is measured in coulombs
  • What is the equation for calculating charge?
    Charge equals current multiplied by time
  • If a kettle draws 12 amps for 50 seconds, how much charge passes through?
    600 coulombs
  • How do you find the current if charge and time are given?
    Rearrange to i = q / t
  • How do you convert kilo coulombs to coulombs?
    Multiply by 1000
  • How many seconds are in two hours?
    7200 seconds

    6 amps
  • What are the steps to calculate charge from current and time?
    1. Identify current in amps (i)
    2. Identify time in seconds (t)
    3. Use the equation: charge (q) = i × t
  • What are the steps to find current from charge and time?
    1. Identify charge in coulombs (q)
    2. Identify time in seconds (t)
    3. Rearrange the equation: i = q / t
