ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

Front

What is voltage?

Back

Voltage is the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, measured in volts (V). It represents the energy per unit charge available to move electrons through a circuit.

Front

What is current?

Back

Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit, measured in amperes (A). It represents the rate at which charge is flowing.

Front

What is resistance?

Back

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit, measured in ohms (Ω). It determines how much current will flow for a given voltage.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. It can be expressed as V = I × R.

Front

How do you calculate voltage in a circuit?

Back

Voltage can be calculated using Ohm's Law: V = I × R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.

Front

How do you calculate current in a circuit?

Back

Current can be calculated using Ohm's Law: I = V / R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance.

Front

How do you calculate resistance in a circuit?

Back

Resistance can be calculated using Ohm's Law: R = V / I, where R is resistance, V is voltage, and I is current.
