Work & Energy:
d
F
w
.
Where:
w
: Is the work done by a force ( F ) acting over a displacement (
d
).
As charges move, subject to various forces they may gain or lose energy.
w
= work done = charge in energy
External force
work done on charges
charges gain energy.
( Like Sources )
Work done by charges
charges lose energy
(Like loads )
w
= Joules = N.m
Potential difference:
Potential difference between two points is the energy gained or lost by a unit
charge as it moves from on point to the other.

Electrical Circuits :-
Circuit element :- is a two
– terminal electrical component .
Electrical circuit :- Interconnected group of elements .
Source = current and voltage in the same direction.
load = current and voltage in the opposite direction .
Resistive element, is always load and always dissipates power

Resistance :-
The unit of resistance ( R ) is ohm ( Ω )
The resistance of any material is depends on four factors:
1. The length of conductor (
)
R
2. Cross
– section area of conductor ( A )

3. The nature of material conductor.
