    Study Notes

    Electric Circuits

    • The usual voltage received at a house is 240 volts, which is then stepped down to 120 volts for normal household use.

    Voltage Usage

    • Small appliances in outlets use 120 volts.
    • Electric stoves, clothes dryers, water heaters, and AC units usually use 240 volts.

    Ohm's Law

    • Using Ohm's Law, we can measure resistance in a circuit, knowing the voltage and current.
    • The formula for Ohm's Law is I = V/R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance.

    Electric Current

    • Electric current is defined as the flow of electrons from a point of higher potential to a point of lower potential.
    • The letter "I" is normally used to represent current.

    Electric Voltage

    • Electric voltage is defined as the potential difference between two points in a circuit.
    • The letter "V" is normally used to represent voltage.
