1. Electrical charge and current

Available for over a year

In this episode, Ellie Hurer and James Stewart explore electrical charge and current. They also share the equation you need to calculate charge flow. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR. For more information on electrical charge and current, check out the BBC Bitesize website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zgvq4qt/revision/2 Key learning objectives discussed in this episode: - For electrical charge to flow through a closed circuit the circuit must include a source of potential difference. - Electric current is a flow of electrical charge. The size of the electric current is the rate of flow of electrical charge. Charge flow, current and time are linked by the equation: - charge f low = current × time - A current has the same value at any point in a single closed loop.
