Electric Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
potential difference
A
the work done per unit positive charge
V = W/Q
2
Q
current
A
the rate of flow of charge (I = q/t)
3
Q
Ohm’s Law
A
Current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor at constant temp.
4
Q
ohmic conductors
A

5
Q
non-ohmic conductors
A

6
Q
Resistance
A
a material’s opposition to the flow of electric current
