Electric Charge: The Foundation of
Electricity
Fundamental Property Coulomb's Law

Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, existing The force between two charged objects is described by
in discrete units called electrons and protons. Coulomb's law, which states that the force is directly
proportional to the product of the charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Electric Fields and Potential: Shaping
the Flow
Electric Field Electric Potential
An electric field surrounds a charged object and exerts Electric potential refers to the amount of energy
a force on other charged objects within its range. needed to move a unit of charge from one point to
another in an electric field.
Electric Current: The Flow of Charge

Movement of Charge
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, driven by an
1
electric potential difference.

Direction
2 Conventional current flows from positive to negative, while electron
flow is from negative to positive.

Resistance
3 Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current,
measured in ohms.
Ohm's Law and Circuit
Analysis:
Understanding the
Relationship
Ohm's Law
This fundamental law states that the current through a
conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it
and inversely proportional to its resistance.

Circuit Analysis
Circuit analysis involves using Ohm's law and other
principles to understand the behavior of circuits.
Electrical Power and
Energy: Quantifying
Energy Consumption

Power Energy
Electrical power is the rate at Electrical energy is the energy
which electrical energy is stored in a system due to the
transferred or used, measured in presence of electric charge,
watts. measured in joules.
Capacitance and Capacitors: Storing
Electric Charge
Capacitance Capacitor Applications
Capacitance is the ability of a A capacitor is a device that stores Capacitors are used in a wide range
capacitor to store an electric charge. electrical energy in an electric field. of applications, from filtering circuits
to storing energy in electronic
devices.
DC Circuits and Applications:
Understanding Direct Current

Direct Current
1 Direct current (DC) is an electric current that flows in one direction only, typically from a
battery or power supply.

Applications
2 DC circuits are widely used in everyday devices such as
smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.
