Equation for Current, Charge, and Time
Current (A) = Charge (C) / Time (s)
I = Q / t
Equation for Potential Difference, Voltage, and Electromotive force (all the same)
voltage (V) = work done by charge (J) / charge (C)
V = W / Q
Equation for resistance
Resistance (Ohms) = Voltage (V) / Current (A)
R = V / I
Equation for power
Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A)
P = V x I
Power (W) = Energy Transfer (J) / Time (s)
P = deltaE / t
Equation for energy
E = VIt
Energy (J) = Voltage (V) x Current (A) x Time (s)
energy transferred equation
energy transferred (kWh) = power (kW) x time (h)

What is a diode?
A component that only allows current to flow one way in a circuit
What is an LED
A light-emitting-diode
Resistors in Series
R = R1 + R2
Resistors in Parallel
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Voltage in Series
V = V1 + V2
What is a Potential Divider Circuit
Circuit with several resistance in series to obtain lower voltage.
Two resistors used as potential divider
R1/R2 = V1/V2
Relationship between resistance and their voltage in potential divider circuits
Proportional
i.e. Total Voltage = 27V
V1 = 9V
R1 = 27 Ohms
V2 = 18V
R2 = 54 Ohms
(I = A/3)
Voltage in Parallel
V = V1 = V2
Current in Series
I = I1= I2
Current in Parallel
I = I1 + I2
