Year 10 Physics Energy Transfer in Circuits

What is charge in a circuit?

• Charge in a circuit is the temperature of the wires

• Charge in a circuit is the color of the wires

• Charge in a circuit is the weight of the wires

• Charge in a circuit is the flow of electric current

Charge is the flow of ​ (a)   around a circuit. It has the symbol ​ (b)   and is measured in a unit called a ​ (c)   which has the symbol ​ (d)
