Answer» (1) Coulomb : It is a quantity of electricity obtained when one ampere current flows for one second. It is the unit of quantity of electricity. Q = I × t Coulomb (C) Where Q is the charge or quantity of electricity in coulombs. (2) Ampere : It is a strength of an electric current obtained when one coulomb of electricity is passed through a circuit for one second. ∴ I = Q/t (3) Volt : It is the potential difference between two points of an electric conductor required to send a current of one amphere through a resistance of one ohm. ∴ V = I × R Where V is the potential difference in volts and R is the resistance of a conductor in ohms. (4) Joule : It is the electrical work or energy produced when one coulomb of electricity is passed through a potential difference of one volt. ∴ Electrical work = Q × V J Where Q is electrical charge in coulombs and V is the potential difference. (5) Ohm : It is the resistance of an electrical conductor across which when potential difference of 1 volt is applied, a current of one ampere is obtained. It has units, Ω or per siemens. |
