Study Notes
Electricity
Voltage
- Measured in Volts (V)
- Defined as the potential difference between two points in a circuit
- Can be thought of as the "pressure" that drives electric current
- Higher voltage means a greater force pushing electrons through a circuit
Current Flow
- Measured in Amperes (A)
- Defined as the flow of electrons through a conductor
- Can be thought of as the "flow rate" of electrons
- Current flows from high voltage to low voltage
Ohm's Law
- Relates voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit
- Formula: I = V/R (Current = Voltage / Resistance)
- Resistance (R) is measured in Ohms (Ω)
- Ohm's Law applies to linear circuits only
Resistivity
- Measured in Ohm-meters (Ωm)
- Defined as the opposition to electric current flow within a material
- Depends on the material and its temperature
- Lower resistivity means better conductivity
Power Consumption
- Measured in Watts (W)
- Defined as the rate at which electricity is used or produced
- Calculated by multiplying voltage and current: P = V x I
- Higher power consumption means more energy is being transferred
