    Short answers
    1. The rate of flow of electric charge through any cross-sectional area is
    called currnt.
    Mathematically it is expressed as:
    Current = charge/time
    I = Q/t
    The SI unit of current is ampere (A).
    2. Battery is source of current. The electrochemical reaction inside a battery
    separates positive and negative electric charges. This separation of charges
    sets up potential difference between the terminals of the battery.
    3. Before the idea of free electrons which constitute current in metals, it was
    thought that current in conductors flow due to the motion of positive
    charges. Therefore, this convention is flow of current due to positive
    charges is called conventional current.
    4. Galvanometer and ammeter are the devices used to measure the current.
    5. Galvanometer and ammeter are connected in series with other
    components of circuit to measure the current in circuit.
    6. Potential difference across the two ends of a conductor causes the
    dissipation of electrical energy into other forms of energy as charges flow
    through the circuit.
    7. A potential difference of 1 volt across a bulb means that each coulomb of
    charge or 1 ampere of current that passes through the bulb consumes 1
    joule of energy.
    8. Electromotive force is the energy supplied by a battery to a unit positive
    charge when it flows through the closed circuit. Or the energy converted
    from non-electrical forms to electrical form when one coulomb of positive
    charge passes through the battery.

    e.m.f = energy/ charge


    E = W/Q
    The unit of e.m.f is JC-1.

    9. The potential difference across a circuit component can be measured by a


    voltmeter.
    10. The amount of current passing through a conductor is directly
    proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends, provided
    the temperature and the physical state of the conductor does not change.
    V = IR
    11. The property of a substance which offers opposition to the flow of current
    through it is called its resistance. The SI unit of resistance is ohm.
    12. The V-I graph of filament lamp is shown below in the graph.
    The graph shows the resistance of filament rises (current decreases) as it gets
    hotter, which is shown by the gradient getting steeper.
    The V-I graph thermister is shown below.
    Graph shows that the resistance of thermister decreases (current increases) as it
    gets hotter. This is because on heating, more free electrons become available for
    conduction of current.

    13. The factors affecting the resistance of conductors are length and area of
    the conductor. Resistance increases with the length but decrease as the area
    is increased.
    The mathematical relation for it is given as below:
    14. The resistance of conductors increases with increase in temperature. This
    is due to increase in the number of collisions of electrons with themselves
    and with the atoms of the metals.
    15. Glass, wood, plastic, fur, silk and rubber are few examples of insulators
    16. The mathematical expression for the resistors ins series and parallel is
    given below:
    The equivalent resistance for the series in resistors in series is given as:
    Re = R1+ R2+ R3
    The equivalent resistance for the series in resistors in series is given as:
    1/Re = 1/R1+ 1/R2+ 1/R3

    17. The amount of heat generated in a resistance due to flow of charges is


    equal to the product of square of current I, resistance R and the time
    duration t.
    The mathematical relation of joules law is given as:
    W = I2Rt = V2t/R
    18. The unidirectional current is called direct current. It is derived from a cell
    or a battery.
    The current that changes direction after equal intervals of time is called alternating
    current.
