The lamp only lights when the switch is closed.

a.

State the two conditions needed for charge to flow in a circuit.

[2]
b.

State what is meant by an electric current.

[1]
c.

The current in the lamp is 0.30 A.

Use the equation: charge flow=current×time\text{charge flow} = \text{current} \times \text{time}charge flow=current×time

Calculate the charge that flows through the lamp in 50 s.

Give the unit.
