To produce 1 coulomb of electric charge, 6.3 x 10^18 electrons are required. A battery produces direct current (DC) in a circuit because the terminals have the same opposite charges, while household circuits use alternating current (AC) where there is a continuous back and forth movement of electrons. AC is provided by power companies and DC is provided by batteries.

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
