Current Electricity – Sticky Notes

Quick revision notes for formulas, concepts and diagrams.

Formula Note

Ohm’s Law

V = I R

At constant temperature, current is directly proportional to potential difference.

Topic 1
Concept Note

Electric Current

I = q / t

Rate of flow of electric charge through any cross-section of a conductor.

Topic 2
Formula Note

Series Combination

Rₛ = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Equivalent resistance in series equals the sum of individual resistances.

Topic 3
Concept Note

Parallel Combination

1/Rₚ = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂

Reciprocal of equivalent resistance equals sum of reciprocals.

Topic 4
Formula Note

Electric Power

P = V I = I²R

Rate at which electrical energy is converted or consumed.

Topic 5
Concept Note

EMF

ε = W/q

Work done by source per unit charge in moving charge around complete circuit.
