ELECTRICITY
1. Charge is the property of matter that produces and experiences electrical and
magnetic efects.

Charge is a n integral multiple of a basic unit of charge (electron) and charge is

always transferred as on integral multiple of charge of an electron i.e, Qtne

across the conductor to the current Flowing through the conductor.

across it causes a current of one Ampere to flow through it
