Charge & Ohm's Law: Using the Equations

Spec 2.1-2.6

What you need to know

  • Use Q equals I t for charge
  • Use V equals I R, Ohm's law
  • Rearrange both equations

Active recall

Quick check

Answer each question before opening the answer.

A current of 2 A flows for 30 s. How much charge passes?

Q = I × t = 2 × 30 = 60 C.

A 12 V supply drives 3 A through a resistor. What is its resistance?

R = V ÷ I = 12 ÷ 3 = 4 Ω.
