Introduction to Charge Carriers
Force on a Charge Electric Current

F = qE, where F is the force experienced by the charge, q I = Q/t, where I is the current, Q is the electric charge, and
is the charge of the particle, and E is the electric field t is the time.
strength.
Unit of Electric Current
1 SI Unit 2 1 Ampere 3 Mathematical
Representation
The SI unit of electric current is One ampere is defined as the
the Ampere (A). flow of one coulomb of charge 1 A = 1 C/s
per second.
Direction of Current

Conventional Current Electron Flow


Flows from the positive terminal Opposite to the direction of
to the negative terminal. conventional current.
Electric Current: Scalar
or Vector?
Scalar Quantity Magnitude and
Direction
Current does not obey vector
addition laws. Current is defined by its
magnitude and direction in a
conductor.
