1
Q
power equation
A
Power = current x voltage
P = I x V
2
Q
current definition
A
an electric current is the flow of charged particles
3
Q
current equation
A
Current = charge / time
I = Q / T
4
Q
current in a series circuit
A
current is the same at all points
5
Q
current in a parallel circuit
A
current splits up
6
Q
parallel circuits
A
electrical circuit, components are connected in parallel branches so that current can flow through each branch
7
Q
series circuit
A
components are connected in one line, same current flows through all of them
8
Q
voltage equation
A
voltage = energy transferred / charge
V = E / Q
