Physics - Electricity - Circuits - Electric current - What Is Electric Current?
A 4-step lesson. Step 1: 'Electric current is the FLOW of electric charge (electrons) through a conductor. Like water flowing through a pipe! The battery is the 'pump' that pushes electrons around.' Step 2: 'Current (I) = Charge (Q) ÷ Time (t). I = Q/t. Units: Amperes (A). 1A = 1 Coulomb of charge p
