Basics of Electric Current Tutorial

Symbol: I

Unit:   Ampere

  • Current moves through a circuit element “through a variable.”
  • Current is the rate of flow of negatively-charged particles, called electrons, through a predetermined cross-sectional area in a conductor.
  • Like water flow.
  • Essentially, the flow of electrons in an electric circuit leads to the establishment of current.

I(t) =    dq/dt

  • q: relatively charged electrons (C)
  • Amp = C/sec
  • Often measured in     milliamps, mA
