• Ex 6, p. 108-110 D.C. Circuits

Electrical Charge

Electrical Current

Current is the rate of flow of charge

I = ΔQ/Δt

Voltage

Voltage (Potential Difference) is the change in energy (work done) to each coulomb of charge between two points on a circuit, or two points across an electric field

V = ΔE/Q

Ohm's Law & Resistance

Power

Internal Resistance of a Battery

Batteries can be thought of as having an ideal voltage supply E.M.F. (Electromotive Force) in series with an internal resistance

V = 𝛆 - Ir

How to find the internal resistance of a

battery

Kichhoff's Laws

Kirchhoff’s Current Law
“At any junction in a circuit, the total current entering the junction equals the total current leaving the junction”
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law
“Around any closed path of a circuit, the total of all the potential differences, V, is zero”
