Electrical Current Study Guide Use this as you read the module. Remember to use immersive reader and translate if you need it.
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
describe the relationship between amperage, voltage, and power
differentiate between AC and DC
describe a battery and how it works
explain how the structure of a material affects its function

1. An electric charge develops when there is an _ in the number of positive and negative charges in an atom.

2. Define electric current

Electric current is

3. The rate of the flow of electrons in an electric current is called what?

4. What can you relate amperage to in nature?

5. What is coulomb and how is it used? Make sure to give an example of it being used.

6. Why are coulombs negative?

7. How does a coulomb relate to a ampere?

8. Define Voltage and give an example in real life.

9. What is the equation for power? What is its units? How does that relate to a light bulb?

10. Use the equation above to solve this problem: How much power is a light bulb producing if it is using .5 amps at 120 volts?

11. There are two types of electrical current AC and DC. Fill out the table describing each.
