the equation that links charge flow, current and time
charge flow (c) (coulombs) = current (A) x time (s)
Q = It
what is the equation for potential difference?
potential difference (V) = current (A) x Resistance
what is the equation for when potential difference is shared?
Vtotal = V1 + V2 + …
what is the equation for the current being the same everywhere?
I1 = I2 = ….
what is the equation for when resistance adds up?
Rtotal = R1 + R2
what is the equation that links energy transferred, power and time?
Energy transferred (J) = Power (W) x Time (s)
E = Pt
what is the equation that links energy transferred, charge flow and potential difference?
Energy transferred (J) = charge flow (c) x potential difference (V)
E = QV
what is the equation that links power, potential difference and current?
