What does DC mean? What about AC?
A
DC: direct current
AC: altering current
2
Q
Define electric current
A
This is when electrons are flowing down wires. The majority of the pressure is lost in the section after the filter.
3
Q
Define Static Electricity
A
This is the imbalance of charges on/in a material
4
Q
What are the 6 steps for solving DC Circuits?
A
- number the resistors
- calculate REQ
- work left to right
- calculate first current
- calculate powers
- assume voltage is a few decimal places
5
Q
What are Kirchhoff’s two laws?
A
- Kirchhoff’s Junction Law
- Voltage Drop Law
6
Q
What is the formula for Series?
A
R1+R2+R3+…
7
Q
What is the formula for parallel?
A
(R1)(R2)/(R1+R2)
