Physics: Electricity: Units
Overview
Every circuit calculation depends on using the correct electrical units. Confusing milliamps with amps, or forgetting the relationship between volts, joules and coulombs, leads to answers that are orders of magnitude wrong.
This reference covers the seven SI units for the electricity section of the Edexcel specification: ampere, coulomb, joule, ohm, second, volt and watt.
Objectives
- Use the following units: ampere (A), coulomb (C), joule (J), ohm (Ohm), second (s), volt (V) and watt (W)
