Energy transfer from when there is a change in pd
Energy transferred = charge flow x potential difference
Power
Power = potential difference x current
Power without pd known
Power = current^2 x resistance
What happens when a charge goes through a change in potential difference
Energy is transferred
When is the energy rise and fall
Energy is supplied to the charge at the power power source to raise it through a potential
The charge gives up this energy when it falls through any potential drop in components elesewhere in the circuit
Potential difference definition
Energy transferred per charge passed
What happens when a battery has a bigger pd
Suppliers more energy to the circuit for energy Coulomb of charge which flows around it because charge is higher at the start
