Current Electricity

Formula and Definition of Electric Current

Electric current flows charged particles, typically electrons, through a wire or space in an electric field. The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb. The SI unit of electric current, the ampere (A), was defined in 1835 by André-Marie Ampère as one joule per second. It should not be confused with the electrical current […]

Forces between multiple charges

Introduction The current is determined by the flow of electric charges, referred to as electricity. Electricity has become more and more important to humans as the world continues to expand. From ceiling fans inside rooms to heavy machines in factories, everything relies on electricity. Electric potential is a key element of electricity. For electrons to

Flow of Electric Charges in a Metallic Conductor

Electricity is the flow of electric charges through a metal. The flow of electric charges can be expressed in terms of the potential difference, current, voltage and resistance. Charge and current are closely related concepts that are explored in this post. Electricity is a physical phenomenon in which charged particles flow from one place to

Equations of Impedance And Its Implications

Impedance is an important concept in the study of electronics. Derived from the study of AC analysis, impedance, which is denoted by the letter ‘Z’, measures the resistance (R) to the flow of electricity in a circuit. This resistance, named after its founder, is measured in ohms. Impedance and resistance remain the same in DC

Electrical Resistivity and Conductivity

Introduction Electrical resistivity and conductivity are two sides of the same coin, but they’re essential concepts to understand when studying electronics. They’re two different ways of expressing the same fundamental physical property: how easily electric current flows through a substance. Electrical resistivity is a material attribute that indicates how much it resists the flow of

Electrical Resistance – Definition, Unit

When an electric current flows through a bulb or any conductor, the conductor provides some resistance to the current, which is known as electrical resistance and is denoted by R. Every material has an electrical resistance, which is why conductors emit heat when current flows through them. A resistor is an electric component that provides

Electrical Resistance

Introduction: Electrical Resistance is one such topic including the resistivity, factors affecting these two, their relation, etc. The opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit is measured by resistance (also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance). The Greek letter omega (Ω) is used to represent the SI unit of resistance which is ohms.

Electrical power and resistivity

Introduction Electrical resistivity is one of the general properties  which determine the amount of resistance present in the element for electricity power. Resistivity is the reverse of the conductivity of electric power.  Electrical resistivity of Electric power  Electrical resistivity is the general property that almost all elements possess, electrical resistivity is the measure that determines

Electric Current and its Effects

Electric current is defined as the rate at which charged particles such as electrons or ions move in a conductor or electric circuit. It is measured in Coulombs/second, which is known as Ampere. The SI unit of electric current is Ampere(A). Electric current is defined as the amount of charged particles passed through an electrical
