Calculate the charge that flows past a point in a circuit with a 5.0A current for five minutes.

A coulomb the amount of charge that passes in 1 second when the current is 1 ampere.Q = It t = 5 x 60 = 300 (s) we must use Si units in physics hence the conversion to seconds here. Q = 5 x 300 Q = 1500 (C)

What is electrical current?


Resistors of 5 ohms and 10 ohms are connected in series with a battery supplying 3 volts. What is the total resistance ? And calculate the current in the circuit.


a) A car weighs 1500kg, if it is travelling at 7m/s, how much kinetic energy does it have?


Can you please explain the basics of electricity? I can do the maths but I don't understand what 'voltage', 'current' or 'resistance' actually is!
