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
