Electric circuit
An interconnection of electrical elements
Charge
Charge is what a person feels when he/2 walks across a carpet and receives a shock when touching a metal object. The shock comes from electrons being changed with the surroundings. This electric charge is measured in coulombs
Coulomb
1electron = 1.602x10^-19 C
What is current mathematicaly
The first derivative of charge with respect to time. i=dq/dt
Electric current
Time rate of change of charge, measured in amperes
Direct current
If an electric current only flows in one direction and does not change with time
Alternating current AC
Occurrent that various sus so in time, does change direction
Voltage
Voltage is a potential difference, the voltage between two points can be defined as being the energy required to move a charge from one point to another
Voltage, mathematically
Vab = dq/dq , V= J/C = Nm/C
