• Flow of charge
    • Ehen ends of conductor are different charges, electrons flow
    • the flow persists as long as there is a difference
  • Electric Current
    • Flow of electrons == electric current
    • 1amp == 1 colomb per second
    • amp == amperes
    • $$ 6.2 * 10^{18} $$
  • Difference between charges is potential difference, EMF, electromotive force
  • Conventional Current
    • assume postice flows to negative
  • Electrical Resistance
    • quality to reduce current of current
    • depends on
      • temperature
      • length
      • cross section
      • area
  • Ohms Law
    • the current proportional to current
    • $$voltage = current * resistance$$
  • Electric power
    • Watts
    • $$power = current * voltage$$
  • Electric Circuit
    • Series
      • Run through multiple points
      • Less energy as it goes on, and drops proportional to resistance
    • Parallel
      • more paths == less resistance
      • $$\frac{1}{resistance} = \frac{1}{resistance_1} + \frac{1}{resistance_2} + ...$$
      • Same voltage, different current
      • current divided among parallel branches
      • current can get very high
