P2 : Potential difference, power and energy Flashcards
1
Q
Potential difference
A
The difference in the amount of energy that charge carries have between two points in a circuit
2
Q
What is the equation for potential difference
A
E = Q x v
E = energy in Joules (J)
Q = Charge in coulombs (C)
V = Potential difference in volts (V)
3
Q
Power
A
A measure of how quickly energy is transferred from one form to another.
P = E/T
