Electricity Flashcards
Electric current circuit
- Rate of flow of electrons
- Closed flow of electrons the direction is opposite to that of electrons
Positive to negative
Charge is amp here
1 column of charge per second
Measure by ammeter which is in series
Potential
Amount of work done to move 1 column. Of charge between two points
Voltameter
Parallel infinite resistance
Cell creates a difference
Ohms law
Current passing through a cuicuit same temperature is directly proportional to the voltage
Resistance
Opposes the flow ohms resistor, variable voltage Bina change kiye rheostat
Length proportional
Area indirectly proportional
Nature
Temperature increase resistance increase
Rho constant ohm meter
Parallel vs series r equivalent
Rs>R1,R2,R3
Less than individual
Advantage of parallel
Current remains constant
Full voltage
Heat
V=VIT
= I2RT

VI
Joules law
Heat is directly proportional to the square of current
Heat is proportional to R ( bulb tungsten has high resistance)
Heat is proportional to time ( phone heats up)
Bulb
Argon and nitrogen
Lifetime of filament
Tungsten
Power
I2r
V2/R
Parallel identification
Joint
Parallel advantages
i) In parallel combination each appliance gets the full voltage. (ii) If one appliance is switched on, others are not affected. (iii) The parallel circuit divides the current through the appliances. Each appliance gets proper current depending on its resistance.
SEries
A series circuit provides exactly one path between any two points for electric current. These circuits have the advantage of making each component very dependent on the other components. This means that if one component is removed, all of the components turn off.
Variable Resistance
Rheostat, change resistance without meddling with the voltage
