Electricity Flashcards
1
Q
Whats conventional flow and electron flow?
A
Conventional: + –> -
Electron flow: - –> +
2
Q
Difference between alternating and direct current?
A
(DC) Is the flow of electric charge in only one direction.
(AC) The direction of the flow of electrons switches back and forth at regular intervals or cycles.
3
Q
Whats the voltage and current across a resistor in series?
A
the voltage across each resistor is different. In a series connection, if any resistor is broken or a fault occurs, then the entire circuit is turned off. The current applied across both remains the same.
4
Q
Whats the voltage and current across a resistor in parallel?
A
Each resistor in parallel has the same full voltage of the source applied to it, but divide the total current amongst them.
