  2. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    In other media, any stream of charged objects (ions, for example) may constitute an electric current. To provide a definition of current independent of the type of charge carriers, conventional current is defined as moving in the same direction as the positive charge flow. So, in metals where the charge carriers (electrons) are negative ...

  3. Electricity - Wikipedia

    Alternating current is any current that reverses direction repeatedly; almost always this takes the form of a sine wave. [46]: 206–07 Alternating current thus pulses back and forth within a conductor without the charge moving any net distance over time. The time-averaged value of an alternating current is zero, but it delivers energy in first ...

  4. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric current is the flow of electric charge through an object. The most common charge carriers are the positively charged proton and the negatively charged electron. The movement of any of these charged particles constitutes an electric current.

    These certifications can overlap. In Missouri, for example, middle school certification covers grades 6–8, elementary school certification covers kindergarten to grade 5, and high school certification covers grades 9–12. This reflects the wide range of grade combinations of middle schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools.

  6. Ninth grade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_grade

    Ninth grade (also 9th grade or grade 9) is the ninth or tenth year of formal or compulsory education in some countries. It is generally part of middle school or secondary school depending on country. Students in ninth grade are usually 13-15 years old, but in some countries are 15–16.

  7. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    As of the 2019 revision of the SI, the ampere is defined by fixing the elementary charge e to be exactly 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C, [6] [9] which means an ampere is an electric current equivalent to 10 19 elementary charges moving every 1.602 176 634 seconds or 6.241 509 074 × 10 18 elementary charges moving in a second.

  8. Year 9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_9

    Year 9 is an educational year group in schools in many countries including England and Wales, Australia and New Zealand. It is the tenth or eleventh year of compulsory education. Children in this year are generally between 13, 14 and 15, with it being mostly equivalent to Eighth grade or Freshman year in the United States.

    Then the electric field and current density are constant and parallel, and by the general definition of resistivity, we obtain ρ = E J , {\displaystyle \rho ={\frac {E}{J}},} Since the electric field is constant, it is given by the total voltage V across the conductor divided by the length ℓ of the conductor:
