unit 2 electric current & ohm's law page1 Electric current: the rate of flow of change through any cross section of a conductor is called electric current. Electric current=charge/time if charge q flows through a wire in time t, then I=q/t if charge dq flows through a wire in time dt, then I=dq/dt Direction of current: As electron move lower potential to higher potential. example: water flow from a higher level to lower level. therefore conventionally, the direction of current is taken along the direction of +ve charge know as conventional current. the direction of flow of electrons gives the direction of electronic current which is opposite to the magnitude and direction. electric current has both magnitude and direction ,but it is not a vector quantity, because law of vector addition is not valid to add the current S. I unit : s.i unit for current is coulomb per second which is called ampere (A). ...
