Charge and Current | GCSE Physics Practice Questions

Current is the flow of electric charge, usually carried by electrons in a metal conductor.

How quickly can you calculate charge flow?

What is Charge and Current | Practice Questions?

"The flow of electric charge per unit time."

Question 1

Current is the rate of flow of ____.

Question 2

Misconception: When a circuit is closed, the 'spent' current returns to the battery.

Question 3

A current of 0.5A flows for 2 minutes. Calculate the charge flow.

Current is measured in Amperes (A).

Charge flow = current x time (Q=It).

Charge is measured in Coulombs (C).

Exam Tip

Math Tip: Time must ALWAYS be in seconds for these formulas. Convert minutes or hours first!

The fastest way to improve your grade is to practise exam-style questions, identify your gaps, and focus only on what you don't know.
