Electrical Circuits Flashcards
1
Q
Current
A
The rate of flow of charge
2
Q
Potential difference
A
the work done per unit positive charge
3
Q
Ohm’s Law
A
Current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor at constant temperature
4
Q
Resistance
A
A material’s opposition to the flow of electric current
5
Q
EMF (electromotive force)
A
The total energy supplied per coulomb of charge by the cell
6
Q
Electrical power
A
The electrical power dissipated in a device is equal to the product of the
potential difference across the device and the current flowing through the device.
7
Q
Kilowatt hour-
A
hour- It is a unit of energy, and 1 kWh is the amount of energy used when 1
kilowatt of energy is used for 1 hour.
8
Q
Internal resistance
A
The resistance inside a real battery.
