Electric Current
Electric Current
An ordered motion of charged particles in a definite direction is termed as electric current Its magnitude is determined by the amount of net charge flowing through a cross section, perpendicular to the direction of the flow in unit time. Electric Current can be calculated by using the relation:
,
Where I = current flowing
q= charge
t= time
The SI. unit of electric current is ampere (A) named in the honour of a French Andre Marie Ampere. Electric Current is a scalar quantity.
We consider Ampere is a fundamental unit and Coulomb is derived from ampere, because electric current was discovered first and the phenomenon that Electric current is because of flow of electrons was discovered later.
When 1 coulomb of charge flows through any cross section of a conductor in 1 second then the electric current flowing through it is said to be 1 ampere.
The smaller unit of current is milli ampere (1 mA = 10-3 A) and micro ampere (1A = 10-6A)
Illustration: A current of 150 mA flows through a circuit for 2min. Find the amount of charge that flows through the circuit.
Solution: Given, Current,
Time,
Amount of charge, q = ?
We know that,
So, 18 C of charge flows around the circuit.
Illustration: If we observe that 20 C of net charge flows across a cross section of a current carrying wire in 4 seconds. Find the value of current?
Solution: Net Charge (q) = 20C and time(t) = 4sec
Direction of Current
In a circuit the direction of flow of current is taken from positive terminal to negative terminal. This is the conventional direction of current. The actual; direction of current is from negative terminal to the positive terminal. As we know the electrons are the charge carrier and they are negatively charged so they will be attracted towards the positive terminal hence the actual direction of flow will be from -ve terminal to positive terminal.

10thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

10thThird consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...

8thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
Manya
8thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.

8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

7thAbhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Barkha Arora
10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English

9thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
