Electric Current
It is the rate of
flow of electric
charges. Denoted by ‘I’.
Formula:-
I=Q/t
Unit:
Ampere
Types of Electric Current
Direct Current Alternating Current
(DC) (AC)
Alternating current ( AC) is an
Direct Current (DC) is a type
electric current that periodically
of electric current that flows in only
reverses direction and changes
one direction.
its magnitude continuously with
time.
Examples of DC & AC
Examples of DC include: Examples of AC include:
Batteries, solar cells etc. Home power sockets,
power plants etc.

Ohm’s Law
Ohm’s law states that the voltage across a
conductor is directly proportional to the
current flowing through it, provided all
physical conditions and temperature remain
constant.
V

R
R is a constant of proportionality and called
‘Resistance’.
Resistance

property of a ‘R’.
conductor to resist
the flow of charges
through it.
Formula:-
Units-: R=V/I
‘Ohm’
Resistance in series
When resistors are
connected in series, the
total resistance is equal to
the sum of the individual
resistances.
𝑅=𝑅1 + 𝑅 2 + 𝑅 3
Resistance in parallel
When resistors are connected in
parallel, the reciprocal of the
equivalent resistance is equal to
the sum of the reciprocal of
individual resistances.

Conclusion
Electric current is expressed by the amount of charge flowing through a particular area in unit time.
, where I is the current in ampere, q is the charge flowing in a conductor in coulomb and t is the time.
According to ohm’s law the current flowing through a metallic wire is directly proportional to the potential difference
V, across its ends provided its temperature remains the same.
Total resistance in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
Reciprocal of equivalent resistance in parallel is equal to the sum of reciprocal of individual resistances.
