5 of 14
What is the equation linking Potential difference, Work done and Charge?
Potential difference = Work done / Charge
6 of 14
What is 1 V in base units?
1 J C-1 = 1 kg m2 s-3 A-1
7 of 14
What is the definition of Potential difference?
The work done transferring energy from electrical to other forms, per unit charge.
8 of 14
What is the definition of EMF?
The work done transferring energy from other forms to electrical, per unit charge.
9 of 14
What equations can you use to calculate the work done?
Work done = Potential difference x Charge, or, EMF x Charge
10 of 14
If the work done on one electron = gain in kinetic energy, what equation can you use?
eV = 1/2 x m x v (squared)
11 of 14
What is the equation linking resistance, potential difference and current?
V = IR, Potential difference = Current x Resistance
12 of 14
What is the unit of Resistance? What is it in base units?
Ohm, 1 Ohm = 1 V A-1 = 1 kg m2 s-3 A-2
13 of 14
What is Ohm's Law?
The current is directly proportional to the potential difference in a wire, provided its kept at a constant temperature.
