What is Ohm's Law and how is it transposed for voltage, current, and resistance?
What is Ohm's Law and how is it transposed for voltage, current, and resistance?
Ohm's Law states that V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. The transpositions are: I = V/R, R = V/I.
What is the single-phase power formula for resistive only circuits and how do you transpose it for voltage, current, and resistance?
What is the single-phase power formula for resistive only circuits and how do you transpose it for voltage, current, and resistance?
P = V x I; V = P/I; I = P/V; R = V/I or P=IxR; P=V/R
Describe a short circuit in an electrical circuit.
Describe a short circuit in an electrical circuit.
A short circuit occurs when there's a low-resistance connection between two points in an electrical circuit, causing excessive current to flow, which can lead to overheating and potential damage.
