9.2 Electricity Flashcards
Potential difference and power
1
Q
9.2.1 Define potential difference:
A
Voltage is the energy transferred per unit charge across a component.
2
Q
9.2.2 What is the relationship between Voltage, Work done, and Charge, and add units:
A
Voltage = Work done / Charge
V = W/C
voltage in volts (V)
Work done in joules (J)
Charge in Coulombs (C)
3
Q
9.2.3 Recall 3 equations for Power using Current, Voltage and Resistance, and add units:
A
P = IV
P=I^2 * R
P = V^2 / R
I = Current in (A)
R = Resistance in (Ω)
V = Voltage in (V)
due to V=IR
