1
New cards

Current (I)

The amount of charge that can pass through a cross sectional area. Measured in amperes (A).

2
New cards

Electric Circuit

A closed loop that allows electric current to flow, consisting of a source of voltage, and resistance.

3
New cards

Resistance

The opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit, measured in ohms (Ω).

4
New cards

Ohm’s Law

V=IR.

5
New cards

Power

The rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit, measured in watts (W). P = IV

6
New cards

Kirchoffs’s Loop Rule

The total sum of voltage differences within a circuit must equal 0.

7
New cards

Kirchoff’’s Junction Rule

The total charge leaving a junction must equal the charge entering.
