Ohm’s Law applies to resistors: V=IR

REMF

volts

Battery increases energy of charges (PE); voltage on battery is called “EMF”.

This amount of energy is expended in the resistor.

For a given battery (V) and resistor (R), the current is given by Ohm’s Law:

V=IR

The unit of resistance is an Ohm.

Question 14

The power provided by the battery (P=IV) is exactly equal to the power dissipated in the resistors (P=I2R).

Power P= work/time

Power=PE/t

=qV/t

=IV
