Current
The rate of flow of charge.
1 of 9
Coulomb
1 Coulomb is the amount of charge which flows past a point when a current of 1 Amp flows for 1 second.
2 of 9
Kirchhoff’s 1st Law
The sum of currents entering a junction in a circuit must be equal to the sum of the currents leaving the junction.
3 of 9
Number Density
The number of charge carriers per cubic metre of a material.
4 of 9
Mean Drift Velocity
The average velocity of a charged particle along a conductor.
5 of 9
Precision
How close repeated measurements are to each other.
6 of 9
Accuracy
How close a measurement result is to the true value.
7 of 9
Scalar Quanity
Something that only has a size.
