Electrisity

Cards (18)

  • Current = Charge / Time
  • potential difference (V) is measured in volts, V
  • The current is the rate at which charge flows through an object.
  • Charge is measured in coulombs (C)
  • Electric current is the rate at which charge flows through an object.
  • Resistance (R) is measured in ohms, Ω
  • Power (P) is measured in watts, W
  • Time is measured in seconds, s
  • A circuit diagram shows how components are connected together using symbols.
  • Voltage (V) is measured in volts, V
  • Current (I) is measured in amperes, A
  • Power = Current x Voltage
  • Potential difference is the difference between one point of a circuit to another.
  • Resistance is a measure of how the components resists the flow of charge.
  • The equation for electric charge is Q=Q=ITIT
  • The equation for potential difference is V=V=IRIR
  • When resister is higher, its harder for charge to flow and lowers the current.
  • When the potential difference is higher, there is a greater flow of charge and a bigger current.
