charge time current
Charge = current x time

Earth wire
Double insulation
charge voltage energy transferred
Energy transferred = charge x voltage
volt unit
V
voltage power current
Voltage = current x resistance
energy transferred charge voltage resistance
Energy transferred = charge x voltage x resistance

resistance voltage current
Voltage = current x resistance
experiment one
Start with the resistance of the variable resistor fixed at a high level. Then take a reading of current from the ammeter and voltage from the voltmeter. Decrease the resistance of the variable resistor in equal steps and take another pair of readings each time. Repeat the experiment and take averages. Plot the averages on a graph
constant velocity
When an object falls its weight causes it to accelerate towards the ground.
Resistive forces act on it in the opposite direction to its motion.
As the object speed increase the resistive force increases until these balance the downwards force of the objects weight
So there is no resultant force so it travels at a constant
