HKCCCU Logos Academy Physics Worksheet - Chapter 2 Electric Circuit 2.1 Electric Current

This document is a physics worksheet on electric circuits. It contains 7 multiple choice and short answer questions about electric current: 1) It defines current as the flow of electrons from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a battery. The unit of current is the ampere (A) and its symbol is I. 2) It asks the student to calculate the quantity of charge that passes through an MP3 player drawing 0.5 A over 10 minutes. 3) It asks the student to calculate the number of electrons that pass through something getting an electric shock from a 20 mA current over 0.1 seconds. The document provides the context to answer questions about basic electric circuit concepts.

Physics Worksheet – Chapter 2 Electric Circuit
① HW 4 Corr
2.1 Electric current
② HW 5 WS 2.2-2
Given: charge of an electron = -1.6 × 10-19 C
③ 913 CHI Test
1. Fill in the blanks of the following questions.
(a) In convention direction of current, scientists though that current is a flow of positive
charges. It flows from the positive terminal to the negative
terminal of a battery through some electric devices. However, current is in fact a flow of
electrons moving from the negative terminal to the positive
terminal of a battery through some electric devices.
(b) The unit of electric current is ampere ( A ). Its symbol is I .

(c) The equation of current is I=Q/t , and 1 A = 1 C s-1 .

(d) Electric current is the rate of flow of positive charges. It is equal to the quantity of
positive charges passing through a conducting wire in one second.
(e) An ammeter of reading 2.5 A means that there are 2.5 C of positive charges
passing through it in one second.

2. An MP3 player draws a current of 0.5 A. If the MP3 player is switched on for 10 minutes, find the
quantity of charge pass through it.
I=Q/t
0.5 = Q / (10 x 60)
Q = 300 C

3. In the diagram, a cow gets electric shocked by an electrified fence. How


many electrons have passed through it if the current is 20 mA and the
contact time is 0.1 s? e 1.6×10-19
=

I=Q/t Q ne -
-

I = ne / t
20 x 10-3 = n (1.6 x 10-19) / 0.1
n = 1.25 x 1016

4. Suppose that 720 C of charge flows through a light bulb in one hour. If the charge flows at a uniform
rate, what is the size of the current?
I=Q/t
I = 720 / (60 x 60)
I = 0.2 A

(a) What is the current it can produce in one hour?
10400 mA
(b) How many coulombs of charge can be driven to flow through the
battery?
