#notes #school #electricity Summary: - **Voltage** is the difference in charge between two points. - **Current** is the rate at which charge is flowing. - **Resistance** is a material’s tendency to resist the flow of charge (current). - Water = **Charge**(Coloumbs) - Pressure = **Voltage**(Volts) - Flow = **Current**(Amps) - Hose Width = **Resistance**(Ohms ### Equations - V = Voltage in volts - I = Current in amps - R = Resistance in ohms Solving for Voltage: `V = I * R` Solving for Current: `I = V / R` Solving for Resistance: `R = V/I` ### Applying Concepts If a resistor has a 20 mAh current rating, and it's being powered with a 9 volt battery. To find the appropriate resistor for the LED, you solve for resistance with `R = V/I`, where V=9 and R = a number less than 0.02, like `9/0.018 = 500`, so you would want a resistor with a voltage at or greator than about 500 Ohms.
