ELECTRICITY
charge flowing (Q)
 current (I) =
time taken (t)

 SI unit of charge is coulomb (C) and SI unit of time is second. Hence, SI unit of current is
coulomb per second or Cs 1 . This unit called ampere represented by symbol A.
 Potential difference between two points (V) = Work done (W)  charge taken (Q)

W
Or V  .
Q

 SI unit of work is joule (J). Hence SI unit of potential difference is joule per coulomb or JC1 .
This unit is called volt represented by symbol V.
 Ohm’s law: Potential difference (V) = Current (I) × Resistance(R)

V = IR.
 SI unit of resistance if volt per ampere which is called ohm. It is represented by symbol omega
(Ω).

 Resistance of a material is given by R = ρ , where  is the length, A is the area of cross section
A
and ρ is called resistivity of the material of conductor. It SI unit is Ωm.

 If n resistors are connected in series, their equivalent resistance is given by


R  R1  R 2  R 3  .........  R n

 If n resistors are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is given by


1 1 1 1 1
    .......... 
R R1 R 2 R3 Rn

 Heat generated in a resistor when current I flows through it for time t is given by H  I2 Rt or
V2
H  VIt or H  t
R
V2
 Power is given by, P = I2 R or P = VI or P =
R
 Relation between kWh and joule: 1 kWh = 3.6  106 J .
