Study Notes
Electric Current Flow
- The flow of electrical charge in an electronic circuit is called current.
- Current flows from a region of higher potential to a region of lower potential.
- The direction of current flow is conventionally defined as the direction positive charges would move.
Unit of Measurement
- The standard unit of measurement for current is the Ampere (A).
- One Ampere is defined as the flow of one Coulomb of charge per second.
Ohm's Law and Current Calculation
- Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its ends.
- The formula to calculate current using Ohm's Law is: I = V / R
- Where:
- I is the current in Amperes (A)
- V is the voltage in Volts (V)
- R is the resistance in Ohms (Ω)
- Where:
Power Calculation
- Power is the rate at which energy is transferred.
- The formula to calculate power using current and voltage is: P = I * V
- Where:
- P is the power in Watts (W)
- I is the current in Amperes (A)
- V is the voltage in Volts (V)
- Where:
Electric Circuit Components
- The essential components of an electric circuit include:
- Source of electrical energy: Provides the potential difference or voltage (e.g., battery, power supply).
- Load: Consumes electrical energy (e.g., light bulb, motor, resistor).
- Conductor: Provides a path for the current to flow (e.g., wire, printed circuit board).
- Switch: Opens or closes the circuit to control the flow of current.
- Control Devices: Regulate the current flow or voltage (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors).
