Current Electricity — JAMB Physics Past Questions
Current Electricity is one topic inside the JAMB Physics syllabus, and drilling it on its own is usually faster than revising the whole subject again. Below: which JAMB years have examined it, then real Current Electricity questions with worked answers.
When JAMB examined Current Electricity
Current Electricity questions appear in our bank for the JAMB years below. This is taken from the questions themselves, not from a syllabus outline — so if a year is listed, this topic was genuinely examined that year.
A topic that keeps reappearing is a topic JAMB keeps testing. Newer years matter most, because question style drifts.

What is the total charge produced in a circuit when a current of 4 A flows for 2 minutes?
- A 400 coulombs
- B 360 coulombs
- C 360 joules
- D 480 coulombs
Answer: D
Charge (Q) = Current (I) × Time (t). Thus, Q = 4 × (2 × 60) = 480 coulombs.
