**Electric charge** $Q$ quantises the charge of electrons and positive ions, and is expressed in coulombs (**C**).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Objects with charge generate electric fields, thus granting potential energy that is released upon proximity to another charge.

Voltage and current are capitalised in **direct current only** ($V$, $I$). In general use, their lowercase forms should be used instead ($v, $i$).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Voltage** is related to the change in energy ($dw$) over the change in charge ($dq$), or alternatively through Ohm's law:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$i=\frac{dw}{dq}=\frac{i}{R}$$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Current** represents the rate of flow of charge in amps (**A**). Conventional current moves opposite electron flow because old scientists couldn't figure it out properly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$i=\frac{dq}{dt}\approx \frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}$$
