Study Notes
Electric Current and Charge Quantity
- Electric current (I) is measured in Amperes (A); 1 A = 1 Coulomb of charge passing per second.
- For a current of 5 A over 2 seconds, the quantity of electric charge (Q) can be calculated as Q = I × t, resulting in 10 C.
- If electric current equals 0.3 A, it indicates that 0.3 C of charge flows through a conductor's cross-section every second.
Current and Charge Relationship
- To determine the flow of charge through conductors:
- The current intensity is directly proportional to the amount of charge passing through a cross-section.
- If conductor A has more charge passing through its section in a given time than conductor B, then the current in A is greater.
Current Intensity from Graphs
- The current intensity can be derived from a charge versus time graph:
- The slope of the graph represents the current intensity.
- If the graph shows a consistent rise (linear), the current can be calculated from the total charge and time period.
- Possible current intensity values based on the given contexts could be 5 A, 10 A, or 20 A depending on the graph characteristics.
