3 of 11
What unit is Charge measured in and define it
Coulombs, C, is the amount of charge that passes in 1 second when the current is 1 amp.
4 of 11
Equation for current, charge & time
Q=It
5 of 11
Define Potential Difference/p.d/Voltage
is the energy per unit of charge
6 of 11
What unit is Potential Difference/p.d/Voltage measured in and define it
Volt, V, the p.d across a component is 1 volt when you convert 1 J of energy moving 1 C of charge through the component (1V=1JC^-1)
7 of 11
Equation for Voltage(V), Energy(W) and Charge(Q)
V=W/Q
