Physical Quantities and Units
- Density (D): Mass of a substance per unit volume. Unit: g/cm³. Formula: m/V
- Volume (V): Amount of space occupied by a substance. Unit: cm³. Formula: m/D
- Mass (m): Amount of matter in a substance. Unit: Grams (g). Formula: D x V
- Voltage (V): Electrical potential difference. Unit: Volts (V). Formula: I x R
- Resistance (R): Opposition to the flow of electric current. Unit: Ohms (Ω). Formula: V/I
- Current (I): Flow of electric charge. Unit: Amperes (A). Formula: V/R
- Energy (E): Capacity to do work. Unit: Joules (J).
- Charge (Q): Electric property of matter. Unit: Coulomb (C)
- Time (T): Duration of an event. Unit: Seconds (s)
Factors Affecting Resistance
- Length: Shorter length = lower resistance; longer length = higher resistance.
- Thickness: Thicker material = lower resistance; thinner material = higher resistance.
- Temperature: Higher temperature = higher resistance; lower temperature = lower resistance.
