Is does E mean
VOLTAGE (volt)
What doe I mean
Current in amps (A)
What does R mean
Resistance/ ohms (Ω)
what is a Atom ?
the smallest particle that a atom cam be divided into
what are the 3 Subatomic Particles and the Function
Proton (Postive Charge)
Electron ( Negative Charge)
Neutron (No Charge)
what is the simplest of all atoms
Hydrogen Atom
what are the several form of the hydrogen atom Call
isotopes
what is LIGHT Hydrogen ?
a Hydrogen Atom with only 1 proton, and 1 electron
what’s a Heavy Hydrogen
a Hydrogen Atom with only 1 proton, 1 neutron and 1 electron
what a Nucleus
the center of a Atom it contains the Protons and Neutrons
where are the eletrons?
the orbit around the nucleus Called A SHELL
Valence shell?
the outermost ring od a electrons that Oribt the the nucleus of a Atom
what is the maximum number of electron in the first shell from the Nucleus
2
what is the maximum number of electron in the second shell from the Nucleus
8
what is a ion
when a atom Gain or electron
what are the 2 types of IONs?
and what do they mean?
Negative ION’s - when atom gains a Electron
Positive ION’s - when a atom lose a electron
when do IONS attract and repel Each other
IONS of the same charge repel each other and IONs os different charge attract each other
what are the 3 Categories ELEMENTS can be placed in to AND THERE DEFINations
Conductors- Have 3 or Less Valence electrons/ are used to transfer electrical energy from only point another
Semiconductors- have 4 valence electrons/ are use to current flow in solar and electronic circuit (not good as Conducters)
Insulaters- have 5 or More Valence electrons/ used to prevent flow of electricity
a current flowing through and conductor coiled around a n iron bar is a _________
Electromagnet
what does a basic electrical circuit have?
Voltage source, a Load, Conductor (wire), Also a Switch
what is Potential
the ability of a charge to do work of moving another charge us the force of attraction of repulsion
what is Voltage
Voltage: The driving force that makes current flow in a circuit. Voltage, often represented by the letter E, is also referred to as electromotive force (emf), potential difference, or electrical pressure.
.
what is Power?
Power: The rate of doing work, or the rate at which energy is used or dissipated.
Electrical power is measured in watts (W).
what is RESISTANCE
Resistance: An electrical property that opposes the flow of current through a circuit. Resistance is represented by the letter R and is measured in ohms (2).
