What does current depend on?
Potential difference of the cell or battery
Resistance of the components
What is resistance measured in?
Ohms
How do you calculate current using p.d. and resistance?
Current (A) =
Potential Difference(V)
———————————-
Resistance (ohms)
How is resistance produced?
Delocalised electrons collide with ions in the lattice.
What is a variable resistor?
A circuit component that can be used to change the amount of wire or other resisting material
