 Electric Current (I) is defined as the amount ofElectric Current (I) is defined as the amount of
charge (Q) that passes a given point in a CCT in acharge (Q) that passes a given point in a CCT in a
time intervaltime interval ΔΔt.t.
 Or:Or: I = Q/I = Q/ΔΔtt, the units are C/s which equals an, the units are C/s which equals an
Ampere (or Amp). So:Ampere (or Amp). So: 1 A = 1 C/s.1 A = 1 C/s.
Analogy: Electric currentAnalogy: Electric current is similar to the flow ofis similar to the flow of
water in a pipe, which is measured in litres/second.water in a pipe, which is measured in litres/second.
History:History: By 1876, CCT theory was already wellBy 1876, CCT theory was already well
defineddefined usingusing currentcurrent ((I)I) as theas the movement ofmovement of
postive chargepostive charge, and the e, and the e--
was still 25 years awaywas still 25 years away
from being discovered.from being discovered. To the present date, the
definition of current has not changed! (The Nelson
TB does not explain this aspect of current clearly)
We know that negative charge, or electrons,We know that negative charge, or electrons,
move in a CCT. We call thismove in a CCT. We call this electron flow
and the direction is __________ to that of
current (I).
Elementary charge (e): This is the magnitude
of charge on a proton or an electron and
equals 1.602 x 10 -19
C. When we talk about
Q we can relate this to e: Q = Ne , where N
is a whole number and represents the
number of elementary charges.
{ Note: e+
= +1.602 x 10-19
C and
e -
= -1.602 x 10-19
C }
Measuring Current (Measuring Current (I) in a CCT) in a CCT

So:Ampere (or Amp). So: 1 A = 1 C/s.1 A = 1 C/s. Analogy: Electric currentAnalogy: Electric current is similar to the flow ofis similar to the flow of water in a pipe, which is measured in litres/second.water in a pipe, which is measured in litres/second. History:History: By 1876, CCT theory was already wellBy 1876, CCT theory was already well defineddefined usingusing currentcurrent ((I)I) as theas the movement ofmovement of postive chargepostive charge, and the e, and the e-- was still 25 years awaywas still 25 years away from being discovered.from being discovered. To the present date, the definition of current has not changed! (The Nelson TB does not explain this aspect of current clearly)
  • 3. We know that negative charge, or electrons,We know that negative charge, or electrons, move in a CCT. We call thismove in a CCT. We call this electron flow and the direction is __________ to that of current (I). Elementary charge (e): This is the magnitude of charge on a proton or an electron and equals 1.602 x 10 -19 C. When we talk about Q we can relate this to e: Q = Ne , where N is a whole number and represents the number of elementary charges. { Note: e+ = +1.602 x 10-19 C and e - = -1.602 x 10-19 C }
