Physics Revision on Electric (Calculation)

Important concepts
1. Q = Ne Q = charge (Coulombs) N = number of electrons
e = charge per electron/proton = 1.6*10-19C
2. I = Q/t I = current intensity (Amperes) t = time (s)
3. V = W/Q V = potential difference (Volts) W = work done (Joules)
4. V = IR R = resistance (Ω)
5. R = ρl / A ρ = resistivity (Ωm) l = length (m) A = cross-sectional area (m2)
6. E = I(R+r) E = electromotive force (Volts) r = internal resistance (Ω)
7. In series circuit, IT=I1=I2=…=In VT=V1+V2+…+Vn RT=R1+R2+…+Rn
8. In parallel circuit, IT=I1+I2+…+In VT=V1=V2=…=Vn 1/RT=1/R1+1/R2+…+1/Rn
