How are Voltage, Current, and Resistance related? V = I R V Potential Difference Volts (V) V = w/q Current I Amps (A) I = ∆q/t R Resistance R = L/A Ohms (Ω)
V R I How are Voltage, Current, and Resistance related? Slope = ∆y/∆x = ∆v/∆I V/I = R V = I R Slope = Resistance
Sample Problem If the current through a 20 Ω resistor is 2.5 A, what is the voltage across the resistor? • 20 V • 50 V • 70 V • 90 V
Sample Problem If the voltage across a resistor is 30 V, and the current through the resistor is 6 A, what is the resistance of the resistor? • 180 Ω • 300 Ω • 5 Ω • 6 Ω
What is electric power? • Rate at which energy is used or converted How is it calculated? What are its units?
What is electric energy ? • Total energy used or converted (work) How is it calculated? What are its units?
How are power and energy related to each other? • (Is your electric bill for energy or power)? Energy = Pt Electric bill show kilowatt-hours (kwhrs) Therefore:
