Key Topics to Revise

1

Electric Current and Ohm's Law

  • Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge through a cross-sectional area
  • Conventional current direction is opposite to electron flow direction
  • Current flows only in closed circuits with potential difference
2

Grouping of Resistors

  • Series combination: Same current through all resistors, different potential differences
  • Parallel combination: Same potential difference across all resistors, different currents
  • Series equivalent resistance is sum of individual resistances
3

Kirchhoff's Rules and Circuit Analysis

  • Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL): Sum of currents entering a junction equals sum leaving
  • Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL): Sum of potential differences around closed loop is zero
  • KCL is based on conservation of charge, KVL on conservation of energy
4

Wheatstone Bridge

  • Wheatstone bridge is used for accurate measurement of unknown resistance
  • Bridge is balanced when no current flows through galvanometer
  • Balance condition: P/Q = R/S or PS = QR (product of opposite arms equal)
