Learn the skill

Current is charge transferred per unit time. For a constant current, charge equals current times elapsed time. An ampere is one coulomb per second. These are paper circuit calculations, not instructions for connecting power sources.

Worked example

A constant current of 2 A for 6 s transfers 12 C of charge through the chosen cross-section.
