2. Electricity
  1. VOLTAGE = CURRENT x RESISTANCE
    1. CHARGE = CURRENT x TIME
      1. > Series Circuits
        1. Current is constant
          1. Voltage varies
            1. Total resistance should increase
            2. > Parallel Circuits
              1. Voltage is constant
                1. Current varies
                  1. Total resistance should decrease
                  2. ENERGY = POWER x TIME
                    1. A . C Current
                      1. Live wire
                        1. Fuse
                          1. Switch
                            1. Circuit Breaker
                              1. Resettable unlike a fuse
                                1. More sensitive than a fuse
                                  1. Earth wire is not required
                                    1. expensive than a fuse
                                  2. Neutral Wire
                                    1. Earth wire
                                      1. - Protects the device from excess current
                                    2. OHM'S LAW
                                      1. If temperature is constant, voltage is directly proportional to the current in an ohmic conductor
                                        1. Length of a wire is directly proportional to its resistance
                                            1. Surface area is inversely proportional
