Electricity and forces equations Flashcards
Acceleration
Given mass
F=ma
F= force - (newtons) M= mass - (kilograms) A= acceleration ( meters per second squared)
Power
Power= potential difference x current P=V x I Power - watts Potential difference- volts Current - amps
Charge flow
Charge flow = current x time
Q= I xT
Charge- coulombs
Current- amps
Time- seconds
Potential difference
Potential difference= current x resistance V= I x R Potential difference- volts Current- amps Resistance- ohms
Energy
Given time
Energy = power x time E= P x T Energy- joules Power- watts Time- seconds
Energy
Given potential difference
