Hello,

I am currently working on my lab, and am wondering if someone would be so kind as to give it a gander. The only section I need looked over is the theory section, which, incidentally, is the only part I have written thusfar. I'd really appreciate it if you could critique the theory section in general, but I do have some specific questions that I have inserted in the text, colored red.

Thank you in advance! :biggrin:

PS This is the first draft, and it goes without saying, that it may be rough.

Physics news on Phys.org
Electric current is, when flow is steady, the rate at which charge flows between the two points during a time interval (is this time interval the amount of time it takes the charge to flow from one terminal to the next?):

No. It's "per second".

Compare with water flowing in a pipe. The flow rate of the water is in "Liters per second".

the infinitesimal unit of charge that flows (where is it flowing? Between the two points?)

No. Think of it as flowing "past a point".

So overall current is the quantity of charge flowing past a point per second.

I haven't read the rest of your write up.
 
I'll make the corrections, with regard to your suggestions.

Bump.
How can you bump that.

Show us the edited write-up. (Please don't give a link to a word ('.doc') document. Many of us won't open them -- risk of virus, etc. Use a pdf format or similar.)
 
Well, he said that he only viewed that parts in red, and not the rest. So, I was hoping that someone could view the rest. But, if you'd like the slightly revised, that's fine. I'll just edit my original post to include.

EDIT: I can't edit my original post. Haha. I will just attach it to this post
