I = Q / t
Q = n · e (e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)
V = W / Q

Electric Current & Charge Quantization

Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charges (1 A = 1 C/s). Conventional current direction is opposite to the flow of electrons.

Electric Potential Difference

Potential difference V between two points is work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to the other (1 V = 1 J/C).

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
