The connection between charge and current is all about how they flow! Let’s break it down:

1. Charge (Q): This is what makes things attract or repel each other in an electric field. Charge can be positive or negative. Think about protons (positive) and electrons (negative)!

2. Current (I): This is the flow of charge. It tells us how much charge moves through a specific point in a circuit over a certain time.

The math for this is pretty simple. Current is explained like this:

$I = \frac{Q}{t}$

Here’s what the letters mean:

• $I$ is current, measured in amperes (A),
• $Q$ is charge, measured in coulombs (C),
• $t$ is time, measured in seconds (s).

If you have more charge moving through a point quickly, that means you have a higher current!

Think of it like water moving through a hose. If more water goes through in a shorter time, that means it’s flowing stronger.

Getting this idea helps a lot when learning about circuits!
