Electricity and Electrical Energy - Set I
What is Electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electric charge. It is a form of energy that results from the existence of charged particles, such as electrons or protons.
Electric Current
Electric current is the flow of electric charge. It is measured in amperes (A) and is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point in an electric circuit.
Electric Circuits
An electric circuit is a closed loop through which an electric current can flow. It consists of electrical components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and a power source, connected by conductive wires.
Ohm's Law
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Mathematically, it is expressed as: V = I * R, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance.
Electrical Power
Electrical power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit. It is measured in watts (W) and is calculated using the formula: P = V * I, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current.
