Introduction to Electricity Symbol: (q) Unit:Coulomb (C) The fundamental electric quantity is charge. Atoms are composed of charge carrying particles: electronsand protons, and neutral particles, neutrons. The smallest amount of charge that exists is carried by an electron and a proton. Charge in an electron:qe= C Charge in a proton:qp= CChargeCurrent Current moves through a circuit element through variable. Current is rate of flow of negatively-charged particles, called electrons, through a predetermined cross-sectional area in a conductor. Like water flow. Essentially, flow of electrons in an electric circuit leads to the establishment of (t) =oq : relatively charged electrons (C)oAmp = C/secoOften measured in milliamps, mAdqdt Symbol: I Unit:AmpereCurrent-Water AnalogyVoltage Potential difference across two terminals in a circuit across variable.
Series Connection of Cells • Each cell provides 1.5 V • Two cells connected one after another, ... circuits. •Henceforth, the conductors that exhibit the property of resisting current flow are ... the resistive material and tap off the desired resistance.
