Notes on current electricity

  • Electrons in a static state have energy.
  • Current (I) is the total amount of charge (Q) moving past a point in a conductor divided by the time taken. I=Q/T
  • Current flow was thought to move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
  • An ammeter mus be wired so that all current flows through it.
  • Direct current, like a light bulb or other device uses energy.
  • V=E/Q    electric potential difference\voltage (v)   increase the electric (E)
  • E=VIT
  • Potential difference between any two points can be measured using a voltmeter.
  • A voltmeter must be connected in parallel with a load.
  • The voltmeter must have a large resistance.
