Electric Current (HSC SSCE Physics): Flashcards

Flow of charged particles through material

$I = \frac{q}{t}$

Amperes (A)

One coulomb per second ($1 \text{ A} = 1 \text{ C s}^{-1}$)

Direction positive charges would move

Path, free charge carriers, applied force

Materials allowing current to flow easily

Materials that do not allow current to flow

In series

Unbound electrons that can move throughout metal
