Electric circuits always have a source of energy, a a load (which uses energy) and a complete closed circuit.
A battery or a generator is the energy source.
You may speak of positive or negative charge flowing. In solids it is electrons which move.

The man does work lifting up the water and then the water does work turning the wheel.
In the electrical circuit the battery or generator does work moving the charge to a higher potential and then the charge does work turning the motor, or lighting the bulb, etc.

Electric Current when charge flows from one place to another.Current is measured in Amperes (or Amps)
I = q/t Therefore an Amp = Coulomb/sec

Current =charge/time
I = q/t
1 amp = 1 coulomb/second (C/s)
Example: A normal household circuit can carry a maximum of 15 amps. How many coulombs pass through the circuit each minute?

Batteries produce Direct Current DCDC always flows in the same direction.
Household outlets supply Alternating Current ACAC reverses direction (in the US the frequency is 60 Hz)
Difference in potential (Voltage) causes current to flow.

Power = Voltage*Current P=V*I
A 100 watt light bulb operates at 120 volts. How much current flows through the bulb? How much electrical energy is consumed each hour the bulb is left operating?

Work or energy is usually measured in Joules. However, that is a small unit. Electrical energy rates are usually stated as so many cents per kilowatt hour.
Problem: You go on vacation and leave a 100 Watt bulb burning for 14 days. How many kWhr does the bulb use?
![Page 33: Chapter 21 Electric Current and Circuits](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051504/586975831a28ab2b068b4ab5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Electric rates in the continental US vary a lot. See this chart:

Calculate the cost of running the bulb for the 14 days you were away.
