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.
