What is electric current. Name and define its S I unit in a conductor electrons flowing from B to A . What is the direction of conventional current. Give justification for your answer. A steady current of 1 Ampere flows through a conductor.Calculate the number of electrons that flows through any section in 1 second? (charge of electrons 1.6 * 10^-9.....Plz Help... |

Answer» Current is the NET flow of charged particles. It's measured in Amperes. Current is modeled as the flow of positively charged particles, so that if ELECTRONS flow from B to A, convention states that current FLOWS from A to B. This is the convention because Benjamin FRANKLIN decided it a few centuries ago. 1 A * 1 s = 1 C 1 C * 1 electron / (1.6 * 10^-19 C) = 6.25*10^18 |
