Electricity

14 min read

Charge and current, voltage and resistance, series and parallel circuits, and electrical power.

Electric circuits transfer energy by moving charge around a loop.

Current, voltage and resistance

I=QtV=IRP=IVI = \frac{Q}{t} \qquad V = IR \qquad P = IVI=tQ​V=IRP=IV Current (A) is the rate of flow of charge; voltage (V) is energy per unit charge; resistance (Ω) opposes current.

cell R A
A series circuit: the ammeter reads the current through the resistor.
