Current Electricity Flashcards
If charges move around in THIS, they can gain or lose electrical potential energy.
Electric field (E)
The SI units is Joules.
Electric potential energy (EPE)
The movement of charge that is carrying electrical potential energy.
Electrical current (I)
This includes objects that store energy for later use.
Capacitance (C)
These kind of lines always leave positive charge and enter negative charge.
Electric field (E)
Is measured with an SI unit of Farads.
Capacitance (C)
Objects that have THIS will take away energy from charges.
Electrical resistance (R)
This has an SI unit of Newtons per Coulomb.
Electric field (E)
This is sometimes called voltage.
Potential difference (ΔV)
This includes objects that can store electrical potential energy on parallel plates.
Capacitance (C)
This is what we pretend is present inside a battery that gives charges energy.
Potential difference (ΔV)
This puts a force on a charge.
Electric field (E)
This has an SI unit of volts (V).
Potential difference (ΔV)
You can solve for this using the variables V and I.
Electrical resistance (R)
The electrical potential energy per charge.
Potential difference (ΔV)
