25
Potential energy
Stored energy that has the potential to make something move of change
26
Electric potential
Energy carried by elecric charges
27
Electrochemical cell
Battery that converts chemical energy into electric energy
28
Different in potential energy per coulomb of charge between two points of an electric circuit is
Voltage or potential difference
29
Kirchoff's law
Vt = v1 + v2
30
Parallel circuit formla
Vt = v1 = v2
31
Voltage, resistance and current formulas
``` V = i x r r = v/i i = v/r ```
32
Power, voltage, time, resistance, energy, current formulas
``` v = p/i t = e/o e = p x t i = p / v p = v x i p = e / i ```
