Difference Between Garage and Carport. We all know what garages are and how important they are for the safety and security of the cars of a household. There are also carports built by some homeowners, to park their cars. Many people remain confused between a garage and carport as they cannot make out clear cut difference between the two structures. While it is true that one can safely park his automobile inside a carport just like a garage, there are differences in the construction of the two structures that cannot be overlooked. There are also differences between the functionality of the two structures that will be highlighted in this article.
An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.
Charge is quantized as a multiple of the electron or proton charge: The influence of charges is characterized in terms of the forces between them (Coulomb's law) and the electric field and voltage produced by them. One Coulomb of charge is the charge which would flow through a 120 watt lightbulb (120 volts AC) in one second. Two charges of one Coulomb each separated by a meter would repel each other with a force of about a million tons! The rate of flow of electric charge is called electric current and is measured in Amperes.
