Physics definition

?
Current
rate of flow of charge
1 of 11
The coulomb
The charge passing a point when 1 amp flows for 1 second
2 of 11
potential difference
work done per unit charge
3 of 11
The volt
1 joule transferred per coulomb
4 of 11
resistance
potential difference per unit current
5 of 11
power
energy transferred per unit time
6 of 11
number density
number of electrons per unit volume
7 of 11
drift velocity
the average displacement per unit time of an electron mocing through a wire, its so small because of the radom collisions between electrons and atoms in the lattice
8 of 11
Kirchoffs 1st Law
the sum of current entering a point equals the sum of current leaving a point
9 of 11
Kirchoffs 2nd Law
Around a closed loop the sum of E.M.F's is equal to the sum of potential differences
