semi-conductors
35
silicon and germanium are examples of this
semi-conductors
36
semi-conductor-
small gap
37
the movement of electric charge or is the moving electrons
electric current
38
rate of flow of electrons
electric current
39
the number of electrons passing through a given point per unit time
electric current
40
1 ampere=
1 coulomb flowing at a given point in 1 sec
41
2 types of current
direct current DC AND alternating current AC
42
type of current that flows in only one direction
DC
43
battery is a good example of this type of current
DC
44
current that changes direction in cycles as the electric potential of the source changes

milliamperes mA
50
driving force which moves the electrons along the conductor
electric potential
51
the ability to do work because of separation of charges
electric potential
52
electrons flow from abundance to deficiency and will continue to do so as long as that difference exists
electric potential
53
unit of electric potential
Volt V
54
this is what propels the electrons to move from cathode to anode even in the absence of conductor
electric potential
55
the impedance to the flow of electrons, reduces the flow of electric current through a circuit. also dependent on the material used as a conductor.
