Circuit Diagrams (AQA GCSE Physics): Flashcards

1 joule of energy transferred per coulomb of charge

In parallel

Shared between components

Same across each component

Two or more cells connected together

Coulombs (C)

1 coulomb of charge flowing per second

Rate of flow of electrical charge

$Q = I \times t$

$E = Q \times V$

P.D. required to drive current through a component

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

Same all the way around

Ammeter

Splits at branches, adds up to total
