Electric Current Intensity (I) (شدة التيار الكهربي)
  • The quantity of electric charge (Q in Coulombs) passing through a given cross-section of a conductor in one second: I = Q / t (measured in Amperes
  • where 1 A = 1 C/s)
quantitychargeCoulombspassing
Electric Potential Difference (V) (فرق الجهد الكهربي)
  • The work done (W in Joules) to transfer a unit positive charge (1 Coulomb) between two points in an electric circuit: V = W / Q (measured in Volts
  • where 1 V = 1 J/C)

Ohm’s Law & Electric Resistance (R) (قانون أوم والمقاومة)
  • The electric current passing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its terminals
  • provided temperature remains constant: V = I · R (R measured in Ohms Ω)

  • Electromotive Force (EMF) of Electric Cells (القوة الدافعة الكهربية للعمود): The total potential difference between the terminals of an electric cell or battery when the circuit is open (zero current flowing).
  • Magnetic Effect of Current & Electromagnets (التأثير المغناطيسي والمغناطيس الكهربي): An electric current flowing through a coiled wire creates a magnetic field around it; placing a soft iron core inside dramatically concentrates magnetic flux, forming a temporary electromagnet used in electric cranes and bells.
