1
Q
what is current
A
the rate of flow of charge through a conductor
2
Q
what is the equation pf current
A
Q= I x t
charge (coulons, C)= current (amps, A) x time (seconds,s)
3
Q
how does current work
A
the charge carrier is the electron
as it flows through the wires it produces an electric current
4
