The passing charges is called, "Current", and the rate of those charges is measured in "Amperes", capitalized because the word is taken from a person's name.

The common electrical units are:

Electromotive Force, or EMF. Measured in Volts.

Current. Measured in Amperes.

Resistance. Measured in ohms.

Why electric current current exist if an electric circuit is broken?

well, current is the movement of free electrons so if you break a point in the wire you effectively stop the electrons from flowing as the electrons need to be touching each other in order to pass on energy or charge. The reason why if there is a gap in the circuit the electrons dont just jump it is because of resistance of air as the electrons in air are not free to flow they are not conduction electrons unlike in a metal such as copper wire.


The current through a resistor is 4.00 A The number of electrons flowing through the resistor in one minute is?

Current is measured in C.s-1 thus the amount of coulomb per second therefore in one minute there is: (60s x 4C.s-1) = 240Coulomb charger past any point in the resistor(or circuit). There is 6.241 509 629 152 65 × 1018 electrons in one coulomb charge (see why we use coulomb in stead of electrons!) thus there will pass 6.241 509 629 152 65 × 1018 X 240 electrons through the resistor in one minute if one amp current is present, i.e. = 149 762 310 960 000 000 000 or 1.49x1020


At which point did Lewis and Clark first cross the Continental Divide?

Lewis and Clark first crossed the Continental Divide on June 24, 1805, at Lemhi Pass in present-day Montana. This was a significant milestone in their expedition as it marked their passage from the eastward-flowing rivers to westward-flowing ones.


Is it true that current is a the rate of flow of electrons?

Yes, current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons in a conductor. It is measured in amperes and represents the rate at which electrons pass through a given point in a circuit.


What is an elecrical current?

Electric current is the flow of charge from one place to another. Charge is carried by electrons, so current can be defined as the number of electrons per second that pass through a given area.

What is the number of crests and troughs that pass a point per second?

That is twice the frequency. Frequency is equal to the number of complete cycles which pass a point per second.
