Electrical Current

Cards (6)

  • What is current?
    The flow of electrical charge
  • What is the equation for charge flow
    Q =It
    Q is charge flow, I is current, t is time
  • In a closed loop what is the current like?
    It is the same value at any point
  • What does the current depend on?
    The resistance of the component and the potential difference across the component
  • The greater the resistance of the component, the smaller the current for a given potential difference across the component
  • What is the equation for potential difference?
    V = IR
