Key Topics to Revise

1

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
2

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
3

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
4

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
