The document includes electric circuits and electrostatics. It goes into detail as it mentions Coulomb’s law and all the calculations surrounding these topics.
PHYSICS
(Electric circuits and Electrostatics)
Electric circuits
Potential difference (V) ~ Work done per unit charge
V= Work ÷ Charge unit=Volts
Current (I)~ rate of flow of charge
I=Charge ÷ Time unit=Amps
Resistance (R)~ materials opposition to flow of electric current
Unit=Ohms
Ohms law
Current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the
conductor if temperature is constant
V=IR
Ohmic conductor
Obey ohms law
Voltage is directly proportional to Current if temperature is constant
Voltage ÷ Current=Resistance remains constant
V
I
Non ohmic conductor
Does not obey ohms law
Resistant is not constant since resistance is directly proportional to
temperature
Voltage ÷ Current = Resistance does not remain constant
