Current
Current is the rate of transfer of charge
1 of 6
Coulomb
Coulomb is product of amp and second
2 of 6
Potential difference (p.d)
Energy lost, by charge flowing through a component, per unit charge.
3 of 6
Electromotive force (e.m.f)
Energy gained, by charge glowing through an electrical power source, per unit charge.
4 of 6
Terminal p.d.
The potential difference measured across the connections of battery or power supply. It is less than e.m.f. when a current is flowing due to the internal resistance.
