Study Notes
Electric Current and Charge
- Electric current is measured in amperes (A), which represent the flow of electric charge.
- The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C), defined as the amount of charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
Voltage, Current, and Resistance
- The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit is described by Ohm's Law: ( V = I \times R ).
- This equation indicates that voltage is directly proportional to the product of current and resistance.
Electric Potential Difference
- The SI unit of electric potential difference, or voltage, is also the volt (V), equivalent to one joule per coulomb.
Resistance and Temperature
- As temperature increases, the resistance of most conductors, like metals, typically increases due to increased atomic vibrations that impede electron flow.
Conventional Current Flow
- Conventional current flow is defined as the flow of positive charge, moving from the positive to the negative terminal of a power source, even though electron flow is opposite.
