Electricity: Charge In Circuits (DONE) Flashcards
Calculate the charge flow in a circuit.
1
Q
What is the unit electrical charge is measured in?
A
Electrical charge is measured in Coulombs (C).
2
Q
If we have a current of 1 amp, how many coulombs of charge are flowing per second?
A
A current of 1 ampere = 1 coulomb of charge flowing per second.
The size of the electric current is the rate of flow of electrical charge.
