    What is electric charge?

    An electrical property of atomic particles, measured in coulombs.

    What defines electric current?

    The time rate of change of charge, measured in amperes.

    How does conventional current differ from actual charge flow?

    Conventional current flows in the direction of positive charge, while electrons flow oppositely.

    What is the law of conservation of charge?

    Charge can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred.

    What is the unit of electric charge?

    Coulomb (C), with realistic values often in pC, nC, or μC.

    What happens to charge in a circuit?

    It is transferred from one point to another without being created or destroyed.

    What is the relationship between charge and current?

    Current is the movement of electric charges over time.

    What is the significance of the ampere?

    It defines the flow of one coulomb of charge per second.

    What are the basic elements of a simple electric circuit?

    A battery, connecting wire, and a lamp.

    What is the primary objective of circuit analysis?

    To describe how interconnected elements respond to inputs.
