(5 cards)
1
Q
What is current?
A
Is the flow of electric charge, usually electrons, through a conductor.
2
Q
What is the flow of electrons through an electric circuit?
A
Movement of negatively charged particles through a conductive path, form a point of higher electrical potential to a point of lower electrical potential.
3
Q
What is a parallel circuit?
A
Contains a point where the current can split or join.
4
Q
What is a series circuit?
A
An electrical circuit where components are connected end to - end creating a single path for the current to flow.
5
Q
What is voltage?
A
The difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit.
