Card 1Sources of Direct Current

State the definition of direct current.

Answer

Direct current is a current of constant magnitude flowing in one direction.

Card 2Electric Current

A charge of 0.5 C passes through a conductor in 5 s. Find the current.

Answer

Given: Q = 0.5 C, t = 5 s Formula: I = Q/t Step 1: I = 0.5 C / 5 s Step 2: I = 0.1 C/s Answer: I = 0.1 A

Card 3Electric Current

A conductor carries a current of 1.5 A for 2 s. Find the charge passed.

Answer

Given: I = 1.5 A, t = 2 s Formula: I = Q/t, so Q = I × t Step 1: Q = 1.5 A × 2 s Step 2: Q = 3 C Answer: Q = 3 C

Card 4Electric Current

A charge of 24 C passes through a motor coil in 0.8 s. Find the current.

Answer

Given: Q = 24 C, t = 0.8 s Formula: I = Q/t Step 1: I = 24 C / 0.8 s Step 2: I = 30 C/s Answer: I = 30 A

Card 5Direction of Current

Why is conventional current opposite to electron flow?

Answer

Conventional current is taken in the direction of flow of positive charge, from higher potential to lower potential. Electrons move in the opposite direction, from lower potential to higher potential.

Card 6Electric Current

State the relation between current, charge, and time.

Answer

Current (I) = Charge (Q) / time (t) Meaning: current is the rate of flow of charge. Units: I in ampere, Q in coulomb, t in second. Quick example: 6 C in 3 s gives I = 2 A.

Card 7Electric Charge

How many electrons make up 1 coulomb of charge?

Answer

1 coulomb of charge is carried by 6.25 × 10^18 electrons. This comes from the charge on one electron, which is 1.6 × 10^-19 C.

Card 8Electric Current

A conductor has 3.75 × 10^19 electrons passing through it in 1 s. Find the current.

Answer

Given: n = 3.75 × 10^19, e = 1.6 × 10^-19 C, t = 1 s Formula: I = ne/t Step 1: I = (3.75 × 10^19) × (1.6 × 10^-19) / 1 s Step 2: I = 6 C/s Answer: I = 6 A
