Electric Current Basics

I_av = ΔQ / Δt

I = nAev_d

Ohm's Law, Resistance and Resistivity

V = IR ⟹ R = V/I

R = ρl/A

ρ = RA/l and σ = 1/ρ

R = R₀[1 + α(T − T₀)]

α = (R₂ − R₁) / [R₀(T₂ − T₁)]

Combination of Resistors

R_series = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ...

1/R_parallel = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + ...

R_parallel = R₁R₂ / (R₁ + R₂) [for two resistors only]

EMF, Terminal Voltage and Cells

E = V + Ir ⟹ V = E − Ir

I = E / (R + r)
