Electric circuits Flashcards
1
Q
Ohm’s law
A
The potential difference across a conductor is directly
proportional to the current in the conductor at constant temperature.
2
Q
emf
A
The maximum energy provided by a battery per unit charge passing through it.
3
Q
rms for an alternating voltage/current
A
The rms potential difference is the AC potential difference which dissipates/produces
the same amount of energy as an equivalent DC potential difference.
The rms current is the alternating current which dissipates/produces the same amount
of energy as an equivalent direct current (DC).
