Electricity - Class 10 NCERT Formulas
1. Electric Current (I)
I=Q/t
Where:
I = current (amperes, A)
Q = charge (coulombs, C)
t = time (seconds, s)
2. Potential Difference (V)
V=W/Q
Where:
V = potential difference (volts, V)
W = work done (joules, J)
Q = charge (coulombs, C)
3. Ohm's Law
V=IxR
Where:
V = potential difference (V)
I = current (A)
R = resistance (Ohm)
4. Resistance (R)
R = rho x (l / A)
Where:
rho = resistivity (Ohm·m)
l = length (m)
A = cross-sectional area (m^2)

5. Series Combination of Resistors
R_total = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...
6. Parallel Combination of Resistors
1 / R_total = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 + ...
7. Electric Power (P)
P=VxI
Also:
P = I^2 x R
P = V^2 / R
8. Electrical Energy (E)
E=Pxt
Commercial Unit:
1 kWh = 1000 W x 3600 s = 3.6 x 10^6 J
