All Formulas of Electricity:

1) I = Q/t
2) Q = ne
3) V = W/Q
4) V = IR
5) R = Rho x L/A
6)Resistance in Series: Rs = R1 + R2 + R3
7)Resistance in Parallel: 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 (» Reciprocal of R1+R2+R3)
8)H = V × Q
i) H = VIt
ii) H = I²Rt
iii) H = V²t/R
9) P = W/t
i) P = VI
ii) P = I²R
iii) P = V²/R
10) E = P × t

S.I. Units:
Current ( I ) - Ampere
Charge ( Q ) - Coulomb
Time ( t ) - Second
Potential Difference or Voltage ( V ) - Volt
Resistance ( R ) - Ohm Ω
Resistivity ( Rho ) - Ohm meter
Power ( P ) - Watt
Heat = Energy = Work = Joule

Measuring Devices:
Ammeter / Milli Ammeter - for measuring current (always connected in series)
Galvanometer - for measuring small/sensitive currents (we can also get the
direction of the current)
Voltmeter - for measuring volts (always connected in parallel)
Ohm Meter - Measures the resistivity

Things to remember:
electron charge = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)
1kWh= 3.6 × 10⁶J
1Ampere = 1000mA
1 Kilowaat = 1000W
1 Horse Power = 746W
