Question

what is the relationship between electric current and electric charge

Answer 1

Answer:

An electric current is a flow of charged particles. In metal conductors the charged particles are free electrons.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Electric current is directly proportional to electric charge.

Explanation:

Charge

• When any matter is kept in electromagnetic field, it tends to experience a force. The physical property due to which this happens is called electric charge.
• Charge can be negative or positive. There is repulsion between like charges and attraction between unlike charges.
• It's SI unit is Coulomb.

Current

• When charges flow, is called electric field. This field is due to electric current.
• Electric current can be defined as rate of flow of charge.
• It's direction is considered to be conventional as opposite to the direction of flow of negative charge.
• It's SI unit is Ampere.

Relationship between charge and current:

• $Current =\frac{charge}{time}$
• More the amount of charge flow in a specific time interval, greater is electric current.
