Answer

The essential basic electrical formulas include:

  1. Ohm's Law: V = I × R (Voltage = Current × Resistance)
  2. Power: P = V × I (Power = Voltage × Current)
  3. Power (alternative): P = I² × R or P = V²/R
  4. Current: I = /t (Current = Charge ÷ Time)
  5. Energy: E = P × t (Energy = Power × Time)
  6. Resistance in series: R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃...
  7. Resistance in parallel: 1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃...

These formulas are fundamental for calculating electrical uantities, designing circuits, troubleshooting problems, and understanding how electrical systems work.
