Electric Current and Charge Quiz

Definition of Electric Current

• Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
• It represents the movement of electrons in a circuit.

Units of Measurement

• The standard unit for measuring electric current is the Ampere (A).
• One Ampere is equivalent to one Coulomb of charge passing through a given point in one second.

Symbol for Current

• The symbol used to represent electric current is "I".

Relation Between Charge, Current, and Time

• The equation that relates charge (Q), current (I), and time (t) is:
  • Q = I × t
• This equation indicates that the total charge is the product of the current and the time duration during which the current flows.

Interaction of Oppositely Charged Conductors

• When two oppositely charged conductors are connected, a current flows between them.
• This movement is caused by the attraction of opposite charges, resulting in a discharge of the stored energy.
