Module 1 Electric current
This short module introduces the ideas of charge and current. Understanding electric current is
essential when dealing with circuits in Modules 2 and 3. This module does not lend itself to practical work but to introducing fundamental ideas. The continuity equation is developed using these fundamental ideas. The module concludes with categorising all materials in terms of their ability to electrically conduct. |

You learn some basic information about how charge can flow in various situations and how to predict the behaviour of charges in circuits. You will be able to define current as a quantity and really start to understand what it actually is. |
