CHAPTER :ELECTRICITY
FORMULAE
1)Electric charge
Q = ne
n – number of electrons
e – charge of an electron (1.6 x10-19 C )
SI unit is coloumb
2) Electric current
I = Q / ot
Q – electric charge ( C)
T -time taken (s)
SI unit is ampere
3) potential difference
p.d or volt = w / Q
w – work done
Q - charge
SI unit is volt
4) Ohm’s law
V = IR
V – voltage ( v)
I – current (A)
R – resistance (
SI unit is volt
So, I = V / R
R = V/ I
5) Resistivity
Rho (P) =RA / l
Rho -resistivity
R - resistance
A – area
L – length of a conductor
SI unit is ohm m
6)Resistance in series
R = R1 + R2 + R3 +….+ Rn
7)Resistance in parallel
R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +….+ 1/Rn
8) power
P = work / time taken
P =w / t
P = VI
