Term 3 Week 4 2019

Homework:

• Ex 6A, p.188-196, Electric Fields
• Ex 6B, p.200-201, Current & Voltage
• Ex 6C, p.205-214, Series & Parallel Electric Circuits - V = IR

Current

Current is the rate of flow of Charge

I = Δq/Δt

Current

Voltage

Voltage (Potential Difference) is the change in energy (work done) to each coulomb of charge between two points on a circuit, or two points across an electric field
