| |
Potential Difference (V) | a measure of the potential energy due to the separation of charges (Volts). |
| |
Capacitance (C) | the ratio of the amount of charge stored on the plates (Q) and the potential difference (V) across the plates (Farads). |
| |
Current (I) | the movement of positive charges per unit of time (Amperes). |
| |
Conductance (g) | indicates the capacity of an object to transmit a current (Siemens). |
| |
Resistance (R) | the reciprocal of conductance. |
| |
Capacitor | two conducting plates separated by an insulating layer and can store charges of opposite sign. |
| |
Battery (E) | drives a current around a closed circuit from its positive to its negative terminal. |
| |
Ohm's Law | V = IR |
| |
Voltage Divider | a series combination of conductors. |
