Current Electricity Flashcards
Current
Rate of flow of charge
Charge
Fundamental property of certain cm types of matter
Voltage
Joules per coulomb
Energy per unit charge
Resistance
Difficulty for electrons to pass through circuit
Equation which links charge time and current
Current = charge/time
Appliance to measure charge
Ammeter
Appliance to measure voltage
Voltmeter
Current in a circuit
Flows from positive terminal to negative terminal mad delocalised electrons move in opposite direction
Electrons in one coulomb
6.25 x 10^18
1 coulomb per second =
1 amp
Ohms Law
Current Is DP to potential difference of ohmic resistor
Equation linking current and voltage in wire
Voltage = constant x current
Constant (resistance)
Filament lamp voltage and current
As voltage increases, the rate at which current one increases, decreases
Equation linking current time and charge
Charge = current/time
Equation liking resistance voltage and current
Voltage= resistance x current
