Chapter 3: Electric
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about electric currents and potential difference. We will understand the concept of electric field and its strength, known as E. We will also compare and contrast Ohm conductors and non-Ohm conductors, and solve problems related to series and parallel combination circuit connections.
Next, we will study electromotive force (Ɛ) and internal resistance (r). We will learn about the meaning of electromotive force and how it relates to electric circuits. Additionally, we will understand the concept of internal resistance and its significance in circuits.
Lastly, we will explore the relationship between electrical energy (E), voltage (V), current (I), and time (t). We will also learn about the relationship between power (P), voltage (V), and current (I). These concepts will help us understand the energy and electrical power in electric circuits.
