Current
Figure 20.2 The rate of flow of charge is current. An ampere is the flow of one coulomb through an area in one second.
Note Direction of I…
Conventional Current Physical Current
Ohm’s Law
Started as two proportions – I through a RESISTOR V drop – I through a RESISTOR 1/R of resistor Put together:
Ohmic Material Any material where R is independent of I and V – Most metals & common conductors
Resistivity
Electrical Power
Intro Stuff Power – Same as regular P, but different

Ch 21: Circuits
Intro Stuff Electromotive Force – emf Maximum V of battery Current – Flow of charge
Intro Stuff
Ohm ’ s Law – States linear relationship between V & R
Intro Stuff Resistance – Says what it means e - has to ‘ fight ’ thru a wire or ‘ resistor ’
