Question Answer
If we have a wire carring a current I, then the total amount of charge will depend on I and T Equation: ΔQ I = Δt
The unit of current: Ampere (A) (The current when one coulomb of charge flows each second) One coulomb is the amount of charge on 6.25x10^18
The amount of energy supplied to each unit of charge is called the electromotive force! (emf) 1V = 1JC^-1
Potential difference has the same units as 'emf', and the definition of P.D,V, As work done: V=W/Q
Resistance, if we know the current and P.d, can be calculated: With the equation: R=V/I
Resistance is measured in ohms. The symbol for an ohm looks like this: Ω Ohm's law: I = V/R
Resistance of a conductor: Required: Length (L), Cross-sectional area (A), resistivity(p) Equation: R=pl/A
Power and work in electric circuits: P(power) = VI Work done = W = VxIxt
