Term
Current is a measure of
Definition

the amount of charge that moves past a pount per unit time

 


i=dQ/dt

Term
The current is "0" in a conductor when no potiential difference is applied becasue
Definition
for every electron with a given velocity there is another with a velocity of equal magnitude and opp direction
Term

if the potiential difference across a resistor is doubled

 

ΔV=iR

Definition
then only the current is doubled
Term
a current of .05 ampere exsist in a 60-ohm lamp. the applied potiential difference is:
Definition

 

 

 

ΔV=ir=.5 X 60=30V

 

 

Term
Four 20Ω resistors are connected in parallel and the combination is connected to a 20-V emf device. the current in the device is:
Definition

i=E/Req    20/5=4A

 

 

Term
A battery with an emf of 12V and an internal resistance of 1 Ω is used to charge a battery with an emf of 10V and an internal resistance of 1Ω. The current in the circuit is:
Definition
1A
