Electrical Formulas

Current

I = dQ/dt

 

The rate of change of charge with time.

Ampere = Coulomb / second

1 Coulomb = Chage of 6.24E18 electrons

 

Voltage

1V = 1 Joule / Coulomb

 

Amount of work to move one Coulomb

 

Capacitance

C = Q / V

 

Ohm's Law

V = I R

 

Power

(resistive circuits)

P = V I = R I 2 = V 2 / R

 

Impedance

ZR = R

ZL = j 2 Π f L

ZC = 1 / j 2 Π f C

I = Current

 

Q = Charge

 

V = Voltage

 

J = Joules

 

C = Capacitance

 

R = Resistance

 

Z = Impedance

 

L = Inductance

 

f = Frequency

 

j = imaginary
