CONCEPT: Electric current: - The flow of electric charges through a conductor constitutes an electric current. - Quantitatively, electric current in a conductor across an area held perpendicular to the direction of flow of charge is defined as the amount of charge flowing across that area per unit time i.e., Electric curernt (I)=
Electric charge (Q)
Time (t)
- SI unit of current is ampere and it is denoted by the letter A. CALCULATION: Given - Electric current (I) =1A and time (t)=10 minutes =600sec - The amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is ⇒Q=I×t ⇒Q=1×600=600C
