Electrical Charge

Current
Current is the rate of flow of Charge


I = Ī”q/Ī”t

Current

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


Circuit Symbols


Ohm's Law


Ohm's Law


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 = š›† - 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
