Think of current as the rate of water flowing through a pipe and charge as the total volume of water that has passed through the pipe after a certain period of time.

Remember 'QIT' (pronounced 'quit'): $Q = I \times T$.

The principle is defined by the definition of electric current, which is the rate of flow of electric charge across a cross-section of a conductor. Mathematically, $I = \frac{Q}{t}$, where $I$ is current, $Q$ is charge, and $t$ is time. By rearranging this formula to $Q = I \times t$, we can determine the total charge transferred.

In competitive physics exams, always check for unit prefixes like $m$ (milli), $\mu$ (micro), or $k$ (kilo) before performing calculations.
