The period T of a wave is the time taken to produce one complete wave. (SI unit second s) The frequency f of a wave is the number of complete waves produced per second. (SI unit hertz Hz) Wave speed is the distance travelled by a wave per second. (SI unit meter per second) A wavefront is an imaginary line on a wave that joins all adjacent points that are in phase.
v = f
T=1/f
Sound Amplitude proportionate to loudness
Frequency proportionate to pitch Speed of sound in air 340m/s
Current

Electromotive force/potential difference
= = e.m.f (V)
W= work done (J)
Q = amount of charge (C)
Resistance
= R = resistance of component in ohm ()
V = potential difference across component (V)
I= current flowing through the component (A)
Ohm's Law states that the current passing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided that physical conditions remain constant.

Resistivity
= R-resistance (in ) ? Resistivity (in m) constant value, depends on type of substance
l- Length (m) A- Cross sectional area (in m2)
For a series circuit The total resistance is the sum of individual resistances added up For a parallel circuit The reciprocal of the effective resistance of resistors in parallel is equal to sum of reciprocal of all the individual resistances.
