Topics in Electric Charge And Electric Current

1

1. Electric Charge: Fundamentals

  • Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, just like mass and length
  • All matter is made of atoms containing protons (positive charge), electrons (negative charge), and neutrons (no charge)
  • Normally atoms are neutral because the number of protons equals the number of electrons
2

2. Electric Field and Electric Force

  • Electric field is the region around a charge where other charges experience electric force
  • Electric field lines are imaginary lines showing the path a positive charge would take in the field
  • Electric field lines emerge from positive charges and enter negative charges
3

3. Electric Current: Basics and Measurement

  • Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor
  • Current consists of moving electrons flowing from negative to positive terminal (electron current)
  • Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charges from positive to negative terminal
4

4. Electromotive Force and Potential Difference

  • e.m.f (electromotive force) is the work done by a source to drive charges around a complete circuit
  • e.m.f acts like a pump, pushing charges through the circuit
  • e.m.f is measured in volts (V), where 1 V = 1 J/C
