Current and charge is one of the most frequently examined topics in GCSE Physics electricity. Expect it in every paper.
What examiners love to ask:
- Calculate charge given current and time (Q = It)
- Rearrange to find current (I = Q/t) or time (t = Q/I)
- Describe what an ammeter measures and how to connect it
- Explain the difference between conventional current and electron flow
- State the unit of charge and the unit of current
Command word guide:
- State: Give the unit or formula without explanation
- Calculate: Show working with correct units
- Explain: Give a reason — use "because" in your answer
- Describe: Say what happens step-by-step
