What is meant by electric current ? Name and define Slunk In a conductor electrons are flowing from B to A. ? What is the direction of conventional current? Give justification for your answer. A steady current of 1 Ampere flows through a conductor. Calculate the number of electrons that flow through any 5 section of conductor in I second. (Charge on electron =1.6 x CBSE Class X Science LA (5 Marks)

Answer»

Current is the NET flow of charged PARTICLES. It's measured in AMPERES. Current is modeled as the flow of positively charged particles, so that if electrons flow from B to A, convention STATES that current flows from A to B. This is the convention because Benjamin Franklin decided it a few centuries AGO. 1 A * 1 s = 1 C1 C * 1 electron / (1.6 * 10^-19 C) = 6.25*10^18
