current in a loop

Electrons are NEGATIVELY charged

Explain what they do at the terminals

they flow away from the negative terminal of a cell towards the positive terminal

Define the flow of conventional current

flow of positive charge from the positive terminal of a cell to the negative terminal

What is current measured using

Ammeter

How should ammeters be connected

• in series with the part of the circuit you wish to measure the current through

In a circuit that is a closed-loop, such as a series circuit what is the current value

And why is this?

current is the same value at any point

the number of electrons per second that passes through one part of the circuit is the same number that passes through any other part

True or false :all components in a closed loop have different currents

False. They have the same current
