Key Topics to Revise
Electric Current and Charge Motion
- Electric current is defined as the amount of charge crossing any cross-section of a conductor in one second
- Current is the ordered motion of charges, unlike random motion in open circuits
- Lightning is a natural example of electric discharge and charge motion
Potential Difference and EMF
- Potential difference is the work done per unit charge to move it between two points
- EMF (electromotive force) is work done by chemical force per unit positive charge in a battery
- Battery maintains constant potential difference through chemical reactions
Ohm's Law and Resistance
- Ohm's law states that current through a conductor is proportional to potential difference at constant temperature
- Resistance is the opposition offered by a substance to current flow
- Ohm's law is valid only for ohmic materials (metals) at constant temperature
Series and Parallel Circuits
- In series circuits: same current flows through all components, voltages add up
- In parallel circuits: same voltage across all components, currents add up
- Series combination increases total resistance
