Potential

difference
- amount
of energy
transferred per
unit of charge

Potential
difference
- Volts (V)

Current - the
rate of flow
of charge

Charge (Q) Coulombs (C)

Current (I) Amperes (A)

Resistivity the amount

of resistance
given from a
unit volume of
a substance

Charge property of
matter upon
which electric
force acts
Resistance
(R) - Ohms ?

Symbols
and Units
Resistance
- opposition

Unit 2

Laws

Kirchoff's
Junction
Law - at a
junction, the
sum of the two
split currents
will total the
sum of the
input current

Equations
Voltage =
Work/Charge

Power =
Voltage
x Current

Ohms Law Given that the

temperature
and other
physical
properties
remain
constant,
the current
through a wire
is proportional
to the potential
difference
across its ends

Kirchoff's Loop
Law - the sum
of the potential
difference
across every
component
of a circuit
totals to the
sum of the
input voltage
of the cell
