What is electric current?
A flow of electric charge
8 of 18
What is the size of electric current?
the rate of flow of electric charge
9 of 18
How do you work out the size of electric current?
I = Q ÷ t I = current in amps Q = charge in coulombs t = time in seconds

What is potential difference between 2 points in an electric circuit?
the energy transferred (work done) per coulomb of charge that passes between the points
11 of 18
How do you work out potential difference?
V = W ÷ Q V = potential difference in volts W = work done/ energy transferred in joules Q = charge in coulombs
