what is the unit of work done?
Joules
3 of 9
what is the unit of charge?
coulombs
4 of 9
how do you work out the potential difference across a component (in volts)?
work done or energy transferred (in joules) / charge ( in coulombs)
5 of 9
how do you work out resistance?
potential difference/current
6 of 9
what does Ohms law say?
that the current through a resistor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across the resistor
7 of 9
what does reversing the current through a component do?
reverses the pd across it
8 of 9
if the current through a resistor is decreased what happens to the pd across the resistor?
increases
