Learning outcomes
define potential difference. plan and conduct an experiment to find the relationship between current and potential difference. describe the relationship between current and potential difference. state Ohms law. define resistance. explain factors that affect resistance. solve problems involving potential difference, current and resistance. describe superconductors.

POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE
The potential difference (PD) between two points is defined as the work done to drive a unit charge through the points in an electric field.

Ohms Law

Resistance
Ratio of potential difference, V across the conductor to the current, I flowing through it.
