Select all that are true. Current is a measure of the amount of charge contained by a conducting media. In semi-conductors, flow of neutrons causes current to flow in all directions. In conducting media (conductors), the current is usually due to flow of electrons In ionized gases or solutions, current could be due to positive and negative ions In semi-conductors, the current could be due to flow of electrons and/or holes

While tracking the speed of individual particles is great, a more useful and simpler quantity to measure is current which is the amount of charges moving through some cross-sectional area per unit time. It has units of Coulombs per second (or Amps} and is abbreviated by the symbol i. See if you can write out a formula for the current through a section of wire with cross sectional area A given the average speed of particles v, the charge on each particle, q, and the number of charges per unit volume, n. Use dimensional analysis for this formula. Which of the terms in your formula do you think the electric field can influence?
