5 General Laws of Electrostatics
-Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other
-The electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their quantities and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them (Coulomb's Law)
-Electric charges reside only on the external surface of conductors
-The concentration of charges on a curved surface of a conductor is greater where the curvature is greatest
-Only negative charges (electrons) are free to move in solid conductors
Conductor Resistance depends on 4 things:
Material
Length
Cross-Sectional Area
Temperature

Volt
-Potential difference that will maintain a current of 1 ampere in a circuit with a resistance of 1 ohm.
-Expression of the difference in electric potential between 2 points
-Equal to the amount of work (in joules) that can be done per unit of charge
Ampere
-Defined as 1 coulomb flowing by a given point in 1 second
-Per its relationship to volt, can be defined as the amount of current flowing with an electric potential of 1 volt in a
circuit with a resistance of 1 ohm
Ohm
-Electrical resistance equal to the resistance between 2 points along a conductor that, when a potential difference of
1 volt is applied, produces a current of 1 ampere
-Ohm's law states that potential difference (voltage) across the total circuit or any part of that circuit is equal to the
current (amperes) multiplied by the resistance. V=IR
Units of Measure
Ohm, Volt, Ampere
