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