Potential difference, Current, Charge flow

Cards (5)

  • Potential difference - the difference in energy in the electrical charge between two points in a circuit. Measured in Volts, V
  • Current - the rate of flow of electrical charge. Measured in Amps, A
  • Charge flow - the amount of electrical charge that flows through a conductor or circuit in a given time. Measured in Coulombs, C
  • V=V=IRIR
    V- Potential difference (V)
    I- Current (A)
    R- Resistance (♎, ohms)
  • Q=Q=ItIt
    Q- Charge flow (C)
    I- Current (A)
    t- time (s)
