Basic current charge

QuestionAnswer
Moving charge is called current
Charge is measured in Coulombs
Conventional current flows From positive to negative round a circuit
Charge can be moved round a circuit using a cell
More than one cell is called battery
The two types of charge are positive and negative
The charge carried by electrons is negative
Protons and some ions are charged positively
In a metal wire charge is carried by free electrons
The electrons drift in a wire when they experience the electrical force from the cell
The direction electrons move in a wire opposite to conventional current
A substance containing both free positive and negative charges is called an electrolyte
The coulomb is defined as that charge passing a point when 1 Amp flows for 1 second
The symbol for the quantity of current is I
The unit for current is Ampere (A)
The symbol for the quantity of Charge is Q
The unit for charge is Coulomb (C)
The equation linking charge and current ΔQ=IxΔt
If 200 C pass in 20 seconds the current is 10A
The charge on a single electron is 1.6 x10-19C
How many electrons are in 1C 6.25x1018

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
