Electrical Energy and Potential Difference (VCE SSCE Physics): Flashcards

Potential difference created when materials are compressed

$V = \frac{E}{Q}$

One joule of energy per coulomb of charge

$E = VIt$

In parallel with the component being measured

Polarity constant, charge flows in one direction

Polarity changes regularly, charge flows both ways

50 hertz (50 cycles per second)

Transferring electrons from one substance to another

Electrical potential energy
