Electrical Circuit
Charge and Current
• Charge: Charge is an electrical
property of the atomic particles of a
matter.
S.I Unit: Coulomb (C)
Symbol: Q
• Current: Rate of change of charge.
OR
Continuous flow of
electrons in an electrical circuit.
S.I Unit: Ampere (A)
Symbol: I
Charge and Current
• Mathematically,
𝑡
𝑑𝑄
𝐼= 𝑜𝑟 𝑄 = ∫ 𝐼. 𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝑡 𝑡0
Or, in simple terms:
𝑄
𝐼=
𝑇
So, 1 Ampere = 1 coulomb/ 1 second.

Resistance
• Resistance: It is an opposition to the flow of current.
S.I Unit: Ohm (Ω)
Symbol: R
Capacitance
• Capacitance is the ability of a device to store
electrical energy in an electrostatic field.
• A capacitor is a device that stores energy
in the form of an electrical field..
• A capacitor is made of two conductors
separated by a dielectric.
S.I Unit: Farad (F)
Symbol: C
Two important Properties:
1. No current flows through the capacitor, if the
voltage remains constant.
2. Voltage across a capacitor cannot
change instantaneously.
Inductance
• Inductance is the characteristic of an electrical
conductor that opposes a change in current flow.
• An inductor is a device that stores energy in a
magnetic field.
