In electric circuits, free electrons carry energy and charge. A coulomb is the unit of electric charge, which is equal to the charge carried by 6.3 x 10^18 electrons. Batteries produce direct current, where the charges at the terminals remain constant over time. Alternating current involves a continuous back-and-forth movement of electrons provided by power companies through household circuits.

2. In electric circuit, the energy carriers
are free electrons.
COULOMB – basic unit of electric
charge
***To produce 1 coulomb of electric
charge, 6.3 x 10 by 18 electrons
are required.

7. 1 a = 1C/ sec
= 0.3 A/sec x sec / 6.3 x 10^18 C
= 0.048 A
C= It
= (0.048 C/sec) (1 sec)
= 0.048 C

9. AC
( alternating current)
DC
(Direct current)

11. A battery
produces
direct current
in a circuit
because the
terminals have

charges.

12. A kind of current
in household
circuits wherein
there is a
continuous back
and forth
movement of
electrons in the
circuit.
