What is the definition of electric current?
Current is the rate of flow of charged particles
Current is how many charged particles there are
Current is the rate of flow of all particles
What is the formula for charge flow?
Charge flow (C) = current (A) × time (s)
Charge flow (C) = current (A) ÷ time (s)
Charge flow (C) = time (s) ÷ current (A)

What does the current-voltage graph for a linear circuit component show?
A straight line passing through the origin, showing that current is directly proportional to potential difference
A curved line passing through the origin, showing that current is not directly proportional to potential difference
A straight line passing through the origin, showing that current is inversely proportional to potential difference
Which statement about thermistors is correct?
Their resistance decreases as the light intensity increases
