Topics in Electricity
1
Electric Current and Circuit
- Electric current is the flow of electric charges through a conductor
- Conventional current flows from positive to negative terminal (opposite to electron flow)
- Current is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter connected in series
2
Electric Potential and Potential Difference
- Potential difference is the driving force for current flow
- Work is done to move charges from one point to another
- Battery provides potential difference through chemical energy
3
Ohm's Law and Resistance
- Ohm's law states V ∝ I at constant temperature
- Resistance opposes current flow in conductors
- V-I graph for ohmic materials is a straight line through origin
4
Resistors in Series and Parallel
- Series: Resistors connected end-to-end, current same throughout
- Parallel: Resistors connected across same two points, voltage same across each
- Series total resistance = sum of individual resistances
