2. Electric Charge
Teacher defines electric charge as electric charge is
the basic property of matter that cause objects to
attract or repel each other.
 Like charge – repel
 Unlike charge – attract
It is measured in coloumb (c)

3. Electric Current
 When the charged object is provided with a conducting path,
electrons start to flow through the path from higher potential
to lower potential.
 That is, an electric current is formed by moving electrons.
 It is measured using device “ Ammeter”.

4. Direction of Current
 The movement of positive charge are called “conventional
current”.
 The flow of electrons is termed as “electron current”.
I = q/t
 SI unit is Ampere ( A )

5. Electric circuit
 The path through which electrons flow from one terminal to
another terminal of source is called electric circuit.
 Types of circuit
* Series circuit
* Parallel circuit

6. Series circuit
 In series, component are connected one after another in a
single loop.
 There is one pathway through which electric current flow.
 The current in each point of the circuit is same.

7. Parallel circuit
 In parallel, the components are connected to the emf source
in two or more loops.
 There is more than one pathway.
 The sum of the individual current in each branches is equal to
main current.
