Introduction
Charge … (1)
Charge is an electrical property of the
atomic particles of which matter consists,
measured in coulombs (C).
The charge e on an electron is negative and
equal in magnitude to 1.602×10−19 C, while a
proton carries a positive charge of the same
magnitude as the electron.
The presence of equal numbers of protons
and electrons leaves an atom neutrally
charged.

The following points should be noted about electric charge:
The coulomb is a large unit for charges. In 1 C of charge, there
are 1/(1.602 × 10−19) = 6.24 × 1018 electrons. Thus realistic or
laboratory values of charges are on the order of pC, nC, or μC

According to experimental observations, the only charges that

Introduction
Electric Current
Electric current is the time rate of change
of charge, measured in amperes (A).

Introduction
Direct Current Vs Alternating Current
A direct current (dc) is a current that remains constant
with time.
An alternating current (ac) is a current that varies
sinusoidally with time.

Introduction
Voltage … (2)
Voltage is the energy absorbed or expended as a unit charge
moves through a circuit element
Analogous to pressure in hydraulic system
Sometimes called potential difference
Can be created by a separation of charge
Is a measure of the potential between two points
Voltage pushes charge in one direction
We use polarity (+ and – on batteries) to indicates which
direction the charge is being pushed
Voltage is the energy required to move a unit charge
through an element, measured in volts (V)
where v = voltage in volts
w = energy in Joules
q = charge in coulombs
