Concepts of Electricity

Electricity Student's Name University Course Professor Date Electricity This paper will analyze and explain concepts related to electricity, including electric potential, current, charge, resistance, capacitance, and conductance. It will also include figures, examples, definitions of terms, and formulae as other ways of explaining the concepts. Electric Charge According to Beaty (2021), electric charge is an attribute of particles through electrons and protons that exert a force on those particles if placed in an electric field. It is gauged in coulombs (C). There are two electric charges, positive and negative, in which electrons are negative particles. At the same time, protons are positive particles of the atom. Electric charge is described by Coulomb's Law, which denotes the force produced by electric charge calculated by the following formula (Newton, 2021); F=Kq1q2r F= electric charge force K= Coulombs constant (8.99×109)  q1,q2 = charges r= distance between the charges Therefore, based on 'r,' the closer the particles, the stronger the force, which Coulomb's Law summarizes as like charge “repel” and unlike charges “attract,” as shown below; Electric Current This is the electric charge flow via a conductor. It is denoted as (I) and measured in Amperes (A). It is calculated by; I=Qt I= current in Amperes Q= electric charge in Coulombs T=time in seconds For example; If 600 Coulombs flow in 5 mins, the charge is I=Qt I=600...
