Physics
Understand the basics of electricity and its components.
Glossary of Terms
Resistance
Resistance (opór elektryczny): 1150 Ω (ohms).
Lower resistance allows more current to flow.
Amperage
Amperage (natężenie prądu): 0.2 amps.
Heat generated by electricity is proportional to the current.
Voltage
Voltage (napięcie): 230 volts.
Voltage represents the pressure of electricity created by a battery.
TIP
Voltage is only half the story. Amperage (current) defines how much electricity flows through the circuit.
Ohm's Law
Explanation of Terms
- I (Current): The flow of electric charge through a conductor, measured in amperes (A). It indicates how much charge passes a point in a circuit per unit of time.
- R (Resistance): A material's opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms (Ω). Higher resistance means less current flows for a given voltage.
- U (Voltage): The electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts (V). It acts as the driving force that pushes current through a circuit.
