Study route
8.1. Current and voltage
- Electric current is the directional movement of charged particles, which requires free carriers, an electric field and a closed circuit.
8.2 Resistance and Oma Law
- Resistance shows how much the conductor prevents the directional movement of the charges. For a metal conductor at constant current temperature, the voltage is directly proportional.
8.3. Wiring connections
- The connection method determines the distribution of current and voltage. Equivalent resistance replaces a complex piece with one calculation element.
