resistance and ohm law

Electricity Type of currents Moving charges Ohm low Power  Resistance: Ohm´s Law   What is Electrical Resistance? When electrons flow through a bulb or another  conductor, the conductor does offers some obstruction to the current. This obstruction is called  electrical resistance. The  longer the conductor  higher the resistance. The smaller […]


moving charges

Electricity Type of currents Moving charges Ohm low Power  Electricity: Moving charges   ENERGY CHANGES IN A SIMPLE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT When current flows in a conductor, heat energy is given out at every point in that conductor. This energy comes from the battery (or other source, e.g. a generator) that […]


types of currents

Electricity Type of currents Moving charges Ohm low Power  Types of currents. ac/dc    What does it mean: ac/dc? Ok, apart from a rock group? There’re  two types of current, defined based on  the directions of the movement of the  electrons. An electric current is called a direct current (d.c.) […]
