The Quantity of Charge
The
quantity of charge
(q)
can be defined in
terms of the number of electrons, but the
Coulomb (C)
is a better unit for later work. A
temporary
definition might be as given below:
The Coulomb: 1 C = 6.25 x 10
18electrons
The Coulomb: 1 C = 6.25 x 10
18electrons
Which means that the charge on a single electron is:
1 electron: e
-= -1.6 x 10
-19C

Sign Conventions for Emf’s
When applying Kirchhoff’s laws you must
assume a consistent, positive
tracing direction.
When applying the
voltage rule
, emf’s are
positive
if normal output direction of the emf is
with
the assumed tracing direction.
If tracing from
A to B
, this
emf is considered
positive
.
