Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. Do you want a better grasp on the concept of charge, current, and time so you feel more prepared for your Physics exams? This class focuses on what current actually is, the flow of charges over time, and applying this knowledge to exam questions for various scenarios. These 5 minute, short burst classes give students the chance to practise the theory and solve equations to allow them to excel in their in future learning.
