Electricity is the flow of charge in a conductor from anode to cathode. Electricity has varied applications. It acts as a tool to provide power to electrical devices. We can say the flow of charge builds up the current, which we call Electricity. To understand how the Electricity is generated, we need to understand the various basic parameters related to it like the voltage, current, resistance, conductivity and the relation among them.
Some of the commonly used Electricity formulae are listed below.
Quantity | Formulas | Unit |
Current I | I = Q / t Q = Charge t = time taken | Amperes (A) |
Voltage V | V = E / Q or V = W / Q E = Energy, W = Work done | Volts (V) |
Resistance R | R = ρl / A ρ = Resistivity, l = length, A = Area or, R = V / I | Ohm (Ω) |
Power P | P = VI | Watts (W) |
Conductivity σ | sigma = 1 / ρ | Siemens per meter (S/m) |
Electricity Formulas are applied in calculating the unknown electrical parameters from the known in electric circuits.
