What to Focus On

  • A cell is a d.c. source.
  • Direct current is constant in magnitude and flows in one direction.
  • A cell has two electrodes and an electrolyte.

  • Current is charge flow per unit time.
  • The formula for current is I = Q / t.
  • Current is a scalar quantity.

  • Electrons move from lower potential to higher potential.
  • Conventional current moves from higher potential to lower potential.
  • Conventional current and electron flow are opposite.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Current always flows in the same direction as electrons.

A galvanometer measures current just like an ammeter.

An ammeter is connected in parallel and a voltmeter is connected in series.

Memory Tips

Direct current

Current as rate of flow of charge

Current is a scalar quantity

Electron charge and number of electrons
