Electricity Flashcards
Coulombs law
F=k (Q1xQ2)/R
Charge of an electron
-1.6x10^-19
Current is equal to
Q=IT
Ohms law
The ratio of the potential difference to current is constant
The 4 Equations of voltage and power
V=IR
P=IV
P= (I^2)R
P=(V^2)/R
What is potential difference?
Potential is the voltage used by a component
Temperature-dependent resistance
R(t)=R(To)(1+a(T-To)) where a is the temperature coefficent
Parallel resistance
Rt= (R1)(R2)/R1+R2
Series resistance
Rt=R1+R2+R3
Voltage divider rule
Vr1=R1/(R1+R2+R3) X V
Current divider rule
I2=R1/(R1+R2)xI Two branches only, Parallel.

The voltage sum of any loop is zero
Ideal voltage source is measured in
Series
Ideal current source is measured in
Parallel
