Which of the following statements is true about electric circuits?

  • Electric circuits do not depend on the flow of electric charge.
  • Electric circuits only depend on the speed of the flow of electric charge.
  • Electric circuits do not rely on the movement of electrons.
  • Electric circuits depend on the flow of electric charge. (correct)

How does the amount of electric charge flowing affect the electric current?

  • The less charge that flows, the slower the electric current.

Study Notes

Electric Charge and Current

  • Flow of electric charge from one location to another creates an electric current.
  • Electric circuits are pathways that allow electric charge to flow and can be open or closed systems.

Electric Current Characteristics

  • The amount of electric charge flowing determines the strength of the electric current; more charge results in a higher current.
  • Electric current is defined as the rate at which electric charge passes a point in a circuit.

Measurement and Units

  • The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A).
  • 1 ampere is defined as the flow of one coulomb of charge passing through a point within one second.

Devices Operating on Fractional Currents

  • Many electronic devices, such as smartphones and LED lights, operate on current values that are typically a fraction of an ampere.
