Current Flow in Simple Circuits

Description

Electrical current is the flow of charge in a circuit. A large current means a large amount of charge moves through a wire in a short time. A small current means only a small amount of charge moves through the circuit over a longer time. Examples include the current needed to run a refrigerator and the smaller current used b...

电荷流过的速率是电流。电流的 SI 单位是安培,其定义为每秒通过一个区域的一库仑电荷。

考虑一个带有开关、灯泡、电池和电线的手电筒。开关控制电路,而电线在组件之间提供电流路径。

电路的原理图表示使用标准化符号和实线来表示各个电路元件和连接线。

blub 表示为一个内部带有环的圆圈,表示灯丝。开关表示为带有导电条的两个点,电池表示为一系列长线和短线。

当开关闭合时,手电筒会亮起,因为电荷有一条完整的路径可以从电池的正极端子流向负极端子。

常规电流方向总是从正极端子到负极端子,而电子流是从负极端子到正极端子,因为电子带负电。
