    Study Notes

    • Electric current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal according to conventional current, but in reality, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
    • Current is defined as the rate of charge flow, calculated as charge divided by time (I = ΔQ/Δt). The unit for current is the ampere (amp).
    • Electric charge is measured in coulombs, with 1 ampere being equal to 1 coulomb per second. An electron has a charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.
    • Ohm's Law describes the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) as V = IR. Resistance is measured in ohms.
    • Increasing the voltage in a circuit will increase the current, while increasing the resistance will decrease the current. Voltage and current are directly related, while resistance and current are inversely related.
    • Electric power is the product of voltage and current, with three forms of the equation: P = VI, P = I^2 * R, and P = V^2 / R. Power is measured in watts.
    • In problem-solving scenarios, calculations involve determining electric charge passing through a circuit, the number of electrons representing that charge, current passing through a resistor, power dissipated by a resistor, power delivered by a battery, electrical resistance of a component, energy consumption, and operating costs.- Voltage of the motor is 125 volts, with a current of 0.4 amps, leading to an internal resistance of 312.5 ohms using Ohm's law.
    • A charge of 12.5 coulombs flows through a 5 kilo ohm resistor in 8 minutes, resulting in an electric current of 0.026 amps (26 milliamps) when converted to seconds.
    • The power consumed by the resistor is calculated to be 3.38 watts using the equation P = I^2 * R with current as 0.026 amps and resistance as 5 kilo ohms (5000 ohms).
    • The voltage across the resistor is determined to be 130 volts by multiplying the current of 0.026 amps with the resistance of 5000 ohms.
