Speed of Light, c 3x108 m/s2

Electricity

E=IVt Energy=Current*Voltage*time

V=IR Voltage=Current*Resistance


for resistors in series


for resistors in parallel


P=IV Power=Current*Voltage



In a plug, live is brown, neutral is blue and

earth is green/yellow.


C=np Cost=Number of units*Price per Unit.


The voltages around a circuit add up to the battery voltage


Current into a junction=Current Out




Energy

GPE=mgh Gravitational Potential Energy=Mass*9.8*Height

KE=

E=Pt Energy=Power*Time

W=Fd Energy=Force*distance



Waves


v=fspeed=frequency*wavelength



Forces and Motion


F=ma Force=Mass*Acceleration

P=mv Momentum=Mass*Velocity

W=Mg Weight=Mass*9.8

d=st distance=speed*time

v=at velocity=acceleration*time

F=PA Force=Pressure*Area
