The rate of flow of charge in a circuit ...

The rate of flow of charge in a circuit is called electric current. In other words, it is the amount of charge flowing per second. It is denoted by the letter
I. If Q is the charge which is flowing through a conductor in time t, then current is given by `i = Q/t`
Unit of current:
The S.I unit of current is ampere and it is denoted by the letter 'A'.
The S.I unit of Q is coulomb and that oft is second. Thus, the S.I unit of electric current is
`("1 coulomb")/("1 second") = 1A`
How much time is required for 10 coulombs of charge to flow past a point if the rate of flow (current) is 2 amperes?
