What is an electric current?
The question is often asked:”What is an electric current?”. No one has ever seen it. We only know of the existence of a current owing to its effects. A current can heat a conductor, it can have a chemical action when passing through a solution, or it can produce a magnetic effect. The practical unit of current is called the Ampere.
Two things are necessary to cause an electric current to flow: first- a complete circuit, and second –a driving force called the electromotive force.
A battery has a surplus of electrons on one of its two plates. If a copper wire is run from one plate to the other, a current flows in the complete circuit thus made. If a small bulb is placed in the circuit ,it will light up. If the batteries were disconnected and a generator substituted for it, we should have a typical lighting system. Both batteries and generators are the most common sources of electromotive force. The practical unit of electromotive force is the volt.
Current will flow more readily in some substances than in other. Such substances as porcelain, ebonite, rubber, glass are known as insulators. The practical unit of resistance is the Ohm.
