Electric Current and Charges
Finding electric current formula
I = Q/t
where
I = electric current (ampere)
Q = electric charges (coulomb)
t = time (sec)
Electric Current, Voltage and Resistance
Ohm's Law
V = IR
where
V = voltage (volt)
I = electric current (ampere)
R = electric resistance (Ω)
Series and Parellel Circuits:
3 resistors in series arrangement
I = I1 = I2 = I3
V = V1 + V2 + V3
V = I (R1 + R2 + R3)
where
I = total current through circuit
V = total voltage of the three resistors
3 Resistors in parallel arrangement
V = V1 = V2 = V3
I = I1 + I2 + I3
where
I = total electric current through the circuit
V = the total voltage of the three resistors
Kirchhoff Laws:
Kirchhoff current
Σ Iin = ΣIout
Kirchhoff voltage
Σ ε + Σ IR = 0
Electric Power and Energy Formulas
P = V I
P = V2/R
P = I2 R
where:
P = power (watt)
I = electric current (ampere)
R = electric resistance (Ω)
V = voltage (volt)
Power and Energy
W = P t
where:
P = power (watt)
W = energy (joule)
t = time (sec)
