I = q / t (if the rate of flow of charge is steady) I = dq / dt (if the rate of flow of charge varies with time) Different types of current: a) Steady current which does not I b c vary with time a b) c) Varying current whose magnitude varies with time d 0 d) Alternating current whose magnitude varies continuously t and direction changes periodically Conventional Current: Conventional current is the current + - + + + + - whose direction is along the direction of the motion of positive charge under the + - + I - action of electric field. Conventional current due to motion of - - - - + electrons is in the direction opposite to - + that of motion of electrons. - +
