Basic Physics Flashcards
1
Q
Coulomb’s Law
A
The closer two charges are, the stronger the force between them
2
Q
Resistor
A
An electrical device that uses the energy carried by electric current in a specific way.
3
Q
Closed circuit
A
A circuit with no breaks
4
Q
Open circuit
A
A circuit with any break in it.
5
Q
Current
A
What carries energy in a circuit
6
Q
Voltage
A
Measure of electric potential energy
7
Q
Ohm’s Law
A
I = V/R
Current = Voltage/Resistance
