課程筆記
Electric Charge
- There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative.
- Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.
- Charge is measured in coulombs (C) (Extended Tier).
Structure of an atom

Charging by Friction
- Rubbing two insulators together transfers electrons from one to the other.
- The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged; the one that loses electrons becomes positively charged.
- A charged object can attract uncharged objects (e.g., comb picking up paper).
Transfer of electrons between charged insulators

Electric Fields (Extended Tier)
- An electric field is a region where a charge experiences a force.
- Field direction is the direction of force on a positive test charge.
- Field lines point from positive to negative charges.
Electric field around a positive point charge
Electrical Conductors & Insulators
- Conductors (e.g., metals) have free electrons that can move, allowing charge to flow.
- Insulators (e.g., plastic, rubber) have no free charges and do not conduct easily.
- Metals conduct well because of their delocalised electrons.
Metallic lattice structure

Current
- Electric current is the rate of flow of charge: I = \frac{Q}{t} .
- Current is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter connected in series.
- Conventional current flows from positive to negative; electron flow is opposite.
- Direct current (d.c.) flows in one direction; alternating current (a.c.) changes direction periodically.
A simple series circuit
Voltage (Potential Difference)
- Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy transferred per unit charge.
- Measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter connected in parallel.
- In a series circuit, the total voltage is shared among components.
- Electromotive force (e.m.f.) is the voltage supplied by a source (Extended Tier).
Potential difference shared in a series circuit
Resistance
- Resistance opposes current: R = \frac{V}{I} , measured in ohms (Ω).
- Resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area.
- Ohmic conductors have constant resistance (linear I–V graph); non-ohmic have variable resistance.
- Increasing temperature increases resistance due to more frequent collisions with metal ions.
The effect of resistance on current

Electrical Energy & Power
- Electrical energy transferred: E = VIt , measured in joules (J).
- Power is the rate of energy transfer: P = IV = \frac{E}{t} , measured in watts (W).
- Domestic energy is often measured in kilowatt-hours (kW h): 1 kW h = 3.6 × 10⁶ J.
- Cost of electricity = energy (kW h) × cost per unit.
