🧪 Key Concepts Explained (With Examples)

🔹 Electric Current

Flow of electric charge.

📌 Unit: Ampere (A)

🔹 Potential Difference

Work done to move charge.

📌 Unit: Volt (V)

🔹 Resistance

Opposition to flow of current.

📌 Unit: Ohm (Ω)

🔹 Ohm’s Law

 
V=IRV = IR
II
RR
V=IR=12V = IR = 12
 

👉 Current is directly proportional to voltage

🔹 Series Circuit

Resistors connected in series.

 
R=R1+R2+R3R = R_1 + R_2 + R_3
R1R_1
R2R_2
R3R_3
VV
Rtotal=R1+R2+⋯=24 Ω, I=0.5R_{\text{total}} = R_1 + R_2 + \dots = 24\,\Omega,\ I = 0.5
V1 = 4V2 = 4V3 = 4I = 0.5

🔹 Parallel Circuit

Resistors connected in parallel.

 
1R=1R1+1R2\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}
R1R_1
R2R_2
R3R_3
VV
1Rtotal=1R1+1R2+…, Rtotal=2.67, IT=4.5\frac{1}{R_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \dots,\ R_{\text{total}}=2.67,\ I_T=4.5
I1=1.5I2=1.5I3=1.5

🔹 Electric Power

P=VIP = VI
