Electric Information Flashcards
(20 cards)
Pressure of the current
Voltage
Resistance to the current
Ohms
Strength of the current
Amperes
Formula of a Current ampersand =
Voltage (volts) / Resistance (ohms)
Formula of a Voltage =
Current × Resistance
Formula of a Resistance =
Current ÷ Voltage
Power is measure in
Watts
Conductors allow electrons to
Flow freely between different atoms
One gigawatt =
1,000 megawatt or 1 billion watts
One megawatt =
1,000 kilowatts or 1,000,000 watts
One kilowatt =
1,000 watts
Gigawatt measure the
Capacity of large power plants or multiple smaller power plants
Megawatt measure
Power and plants or how much electricity and entire city uses
One kilowatt =
1000 watts
Kilowatt-hours use to measure
large amount of electricity
Kilowatt-hour is an amount
Of energy used in one hour by kilowatt of electricity
A watt-hour is an amount
Of energy used in a length of time
A watts measure by
Power
A watts is amount
of electricity consumed
