This memory aid covers Memory Aid within Current & Charge for GCSE Physics. Revise Current & Charge in Electricity for GCSE Physics with 19 exam-style questions and 30 flashcards. This is a high-frequency topic, so it is worth revising until the explanation feels precise and repeatable. It is section 9 of 13 in this topic. Use it for quick recall, then test yourself straight afterwards so the memory aid becomes usable in an answer.
🧠 Memory Aid
For Q = I × t — remember "QUIT":
Q = I × t — the "QUIck Time" an electron takes to flow (Q charges, I current, t time)
Conventional current direction — "Positive goes Positive":
Conventional current always flows out of the Positive terminal and in through the negative. The Positive starts the journey.
Ammeter in Series — "A is Alone in line":
The Ammeter goes Along the single path — it's in the series loop, never branching off.
