Electric current is carried by moving electrons through a conductor. By convention, electric current flows in opposite direction to the movement of electrons. Electric circuit: Electric ci is a continuous and closed path of electric current. Expression of Electric Current: Electric current is denoted by letter ‘I. Electric current is Flow of postive charge Flaw of easton ‘By convention positive charge tows in opposite ‘the drocton of fw of slecrone in creat expressed by the rate of flow of electric charges. Rate of flow means the amount of charge flowing through a particular area in unit time. Ifa net electric charge (Q) flows through a cross section of conductor in time t, Therefore, Electric current (I) Net charge (Q) ime (€) time in second. 1srs wn ercallup.comclasson’sclenceteelecicivien aspx tocricty CBSE Class Ten Sl unit of electric charge is coulomb (C). One coulomb is nearly equal to 6 x 10'* electrons. SI unit of electric current is ampere (A). ‘Ampere is the flow of electric charges through a surface at the rate of ‘one coulomb per second, This means if 1 coulomb of electric charge flows through a cross section for 1 second, it would be equal to 1 ampere. 1¢ Therefore, 1 ampere = + Small quantity of Electric Current: Small quantity of electric current is expressed in milliampere and microampere. Milliampere is written as mA and microampere as WA ‘mA (milliampere)= 107A ‘1uA(microampere)=10°°A, Ammeter: An apparatus to measure electric current in a circuit Example: 1 ~ Find the amount of electric charge flowing through the cuit if an electric current of 5 A is drawn by an electric appliance for 5 minute. Solution: Given, Electric current () Time (t) = 5 minute = 5 X60 = 300 s Electric charge (Q) =? We know that I =2 or,Q Therefore, Q=5Ax 300s = 1500 C Answer Example: 2 - If a current of 2 ampere is drawn for 1 hour through the filament of a bulb, find the amount of electric charge flowing through the circuit Solution: Given, Electric current (I) = 2A Time (1) = 1 hour= 1 x 60 x 60 s = 3600s Electric charge (Q) =?srs wn ercallup.comclasson’sclenceteelecicivien aspx tocricty CBSE Class Ten We know that Q = Ixt Therefore, = 2 Ax 3600 s = 7200 C Answer Example: 3 - In how much time 6000 coulomb of electric charge will flow, ifan electric current of 10 A is drawn through an electric motor?
