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.,

  • SI unit of current is ampere and it is denoted by the letter A.

CALCULATION:

Given - current (I) = 1 mA = 1 × 10-3 Aa and t = 1 sec

  • The total charge passing per second is given by

⇒ Q = ne

⇒ ne = It
