Study Notes
- Conventional current states that current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, while 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) where Q is the electric charge measured in coulombs and t is the time in seconds. The unit for current is amperes (amps), where 1 amp = 1 coulomb per second.
- Ohm's Law describes the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R): V = IR. Resistance is measured in ohms, and increasing current leads to an increase in voltage, while increasing resistance leads to a decrease in current.
- Electric power is the product of voltage and current (P = VI), measured in watts. It can also be calculated as I^2R or V^2/R.
- In a circuit, power delivered by the battery must equal the power dissipated by the resistor for energy balance.
- In a problem involving current flow and time, electric charge (Q) can be calculated as Q = It, where I is the current and t is the time. Conversion of units may be necessary for accurate calculations.
- The relationship between charge and number of electrons is proportional; one electron has a charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.- The voltage in part a is 125 volts.
- The internal resistance of the motor is 312.5 ohms.
- The charge flowing through the resistor is 12.5 coulombs.
- The electrical resistance of the resistor is 5 kilo ohms.
- The electric current flowing through the resistor is 0.026 amps or 26 milliamps.
- The power consumed by the resistor is 3.38 watts.
- The voltage across the resistor is 130 volts.
