|
What is Voltage?
How is it measured? |
the pressure that pushes electrons around a circuit.
It is measure in Volts (V) |
|
|
What is current?
How is it measured? |
The number of electrons flowing through a circuit being pushed by a certain voltage.
It is measured in Amps (A) |
|
|
What is Resistance?
How is it measured? |
a property that slows down the flow of electrons.
It is measured in Ohms (Ω) |
|
|
Any device placed in a circuit is called a __________.
Every( answer to question) has a _________. |
Load
resistance |
|
|
What is Ohms Law?
|
The current in a circuit is proportional to the amount of voltage in the same circuit. The resistance will remain the same.
|
|
|
How can you measure Voltage?
|
Voltage=Current x Resistance
Voltage= Power/Current |
|
|
What is Electrical Power?
How is it measured? |
The amount of electric current flowing, due to an applied voltage.
It is the combination of voltage and current that results in the ability to do work. Electrical Power is measured in Watts (W) |
|
|
What is Electrical Energy?
How is it measured? How can you calculate it? |
The amount of current running through the circuit over a period of time.
It is measured in Watt-hours (Wh) Electrical Energy= Power x Time |
|
|
What is a variable resistor?
|
an object that allows you to change the current in a circuit.
|
|
|
How do you measure Charge?
What is it measured in? |
Charge= Current x time
It is measured in Coulombs (C) |
|
|
What is DC?
What is AC? |
Direct Current
Alternating Current |
