💡 Key Idea

Electric Current: The Flow of Charge

Current is charge in motion.

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. In metals, this charge is carried by electrons. The SI unit of current is the ampere (A). Current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a battery in a conventional circuit, but...

↳ Current is the rate of charge flow, measured in amperes.

💡 Key Idea

The Torchlight Switch Controls the Circuit

Why does the torch glow only in one switch position?

A torchlight has a lamp, a switch, and cells inside. The switch has two positions: 'on' and 'off'. When the switch is in the 'on' position, the lamp glows; when in the 'off' position, it does not...

↳ The switch controls the lamp by completing or breaking the circuit.

📖 Definition

Electric Circuit: A Closed Loop

A path for current to flow.

An electric circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows. It typically includes a source (like a battery), conducting wires, and a load (like a bulb). For current to flow, the circuit must be complete—no breaks in the path.

↳ A circuit must be closed for current to flow.

Electricity and Its Components - Chapter 3

This topic introduces how a torchlight works, focusing on the role of the switch and the battery. It explains that a torch glows when the switch is in the 'on' position, completing the circuit, and that a battery is form...

  • A torchlight (torch/flashlight) has a lamp, a switch, and cells inside.
  • The lamp glows only when the switch is in the 'on' position; in the 'off' position, it does not glow.
  • Electric cells have two terminals: a flat metal cap is the positive (+) terminal, and the other is the negative (-) terminal.

What is the SI unit of electric current?

Beginner
A Ampere B Volt C Watt D Ohm
Show answer & explanation

Ampere

Electric current is measured in amperes (A), named after André-Marie Ampère.

Which component in an electric circuit is used to open or close the circuit?

Beginner
A Switch B Resistor C Battery D Bulb
Show answer & explanation

Switch

A switch is a device that can break or complete the circuit, controlling the flow of current.

What is the function of a cell or battery in an electric circuit?

Beginner
A To provide energy to drive the current B To store electric charge C To measure current D To resist current
Show answer & explanation

To provide energy to drive the current

A cell or battery supplies electrical energy, creating a potential difference that drives current through the circuit.

Which of the following materials is a good conductor of electricity?

Beginner
A Glass B Rubber C Copper D Plastic
Show answer & explanation

Copper

Copper is a metal and has free electrons, making it a good conductor of electricity.
