Introduction to Conventional Current and Direct Current with an Example Problem

The video tutorial introduces the concept of electric current, explaining it as the flow of charges and its measurement in amperes. It covers the equation for current, I = ΔQ/ΔT, and discusses the conventional current flow direction. The tutorial also explains the classical atomic model and the difference between alternating and direct current, highlighting the practical use of AC in households. An example problem is solved to demonstrate current calculation, including converting units and using scientific notation.
