Basic Quantities Current: Flow of electric charge per unit time. There is only current when the charge changes. Current = gradient of q vs t graph.
• •
The total resistance of the circuit determines the amount of current that flows The current in a series circuit is constant. …
•
Current is divided/split when the circuit branches e.g. parallel circuit. Power: Change in energy over time
A voltage or force causes current to flow
!
"! #! !
Voltage is consumed by resistors in a series circuit so there is a voltage drop over components.
Energy is supplied and absorbed in a circuit. Total change in energy: &'
∆ % " # ! &(
Sign convention for power: If current is flowing from high to low (+ to -) across an element, then Power is positive (element is absorbing power) If current flowing from low to high across element (- to +), Power is negative (element is supplying power)

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) The algebraic sum of the voltages in a loop is zero. OR The sum of the emf’s in any closed loop is equivalent to the sum of the potential drops in that loop. Going around a circuit loops, increases and decreases in energy are encountered; • •
Decrease in energy considered positive Increase in energy considered negative " " " ": 0 Signs for voltage are negative or positive depending on whether current flows from positive to negative across element or vice versa.
Voltage Division Travelling around a circuit, voltage is absorbed by elements in ratios determined by their resistance (current constant). If there are too many unknowns in a circuit, Ohm’s Law can be used to produce: )* n ,#,!*, # ,#- -**. /#/0#!: 3 2 3 ! 4 6 . . 3

Current Division When elements are in parallel, current is split amongst them based on their resistances (voltage constant). )* -7!, # .---: &&89 &&89 Find ‘effective resistance’ of multiple resistors if there are more than two.
