Electricity Formulas

Electricity is the flow of charge in a conductor


from anode to cathode. Electricity has varied
applications. It acts as a tool to provide power
to electrical devices. We can say the flow of
charge builds up the current, which we call
Electricity. To understand how the Electricity is
generated, we need to understand the various
basic parameters related to it like the voltage,
current, resistance, conductivity and the relation
among them.

Some of the commonly used Electricity formulae


are listed below.

Quantity Formulas Unit

Current I I=Q/t Amperes (A)

Q = Charge

t = time taken

Voltage V=E/Q Volts (V)


V
or

V=W/Q

E = Energy, W =
Work done

Resistan R = ρl / A Ohm (Ω)


ce R
ρ = Resistivity,

l = length,

A = Area

or,

R=V/I

Power P P = VI Watts (W)

Conduct sigma = 1 / ρ Siemens per


ivity σ meter (S/m)

Electricity Formulas are applied in calculating


the unknown electrical parameters from the
known in electric circuits.

Solved Examples
Example 1

An electric heater has a potential difference of


220 V and resistance is 70 Ω. Determine the
magnitude of the current flowing through it.

Solution:

Given:

Resistance R = 70 Ω

Voltage V = 220 V

The current formula is given by

I=V/R

= 220 / 70

I = 3.1428 A

Example 2

An electrical lamp lights for 4 hours and draws


a current of 0.5 A. Calculate the amount of
charge flowing through the lamp.

Solution:

Current I = 0.5 A

Time taken t = 4 hours

t= 4 × 3600 = 14400 s,

Charge Q = I × t

= 0.5 ×14400

Q= 7200 C

Your electricity formula diagram was very


helpful in that it brought back many of the
formulas that I have forgotten in my aging
years. It is nice to have an easy reference
to go to. However, I ask that you review
your formula in the upper right hand
quadrant where you have V = V/I. Unless I
have mistaken the intent, I believe that this
should be V = W/I.
