Day 3 Notes Flashcards
What is Ohms law?
Mathematical model describing the relationships between electrical quantities
Voltage is ….
E or V
Current is
I or A
Resistance is
R and ohms symbol
Power letters are
P OR W
What is voltage defined
Electrical push or difference in potential required to initiate the movement of electrons through a conductive medium I.e. wire
Current defined
the speed or rate at which electrons are being pushed through a conductive medium
The greater the push the higher the speed
Voltage and current are said to be
Directly proportional
Maximum current capability is limited by
The diameter of the wire
Resistance defined
Opposition to the flow of electrons through a circuity or conductive medium
The greater the resistance within a circuit the
Less the total current flow
