TERM 1
DEFINITION 1 wave speed= wavelength x frequency TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 Coulomb's law is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles. force= coulomb's constant x charge1 x charge 2 (distance between charges) squared TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 force= charge x electric field TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 electric field= voltage gradient= voltage drop distance TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 Electricity consumption is the consumption of energy in the form of electricity. power consumed = voltage drop x current
TERM 6
DEFINITION 6 Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. power provided = voltage rise x current TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. voltage drop= current x electric resistance
