To Be Able To Define The Different Aspects Of Electricity (7 cards)
1
Q
What is Current?
A
Current is the rate of flow of charge. Current is measured in Amps, A.
2
Q
What is Charge?
A
Charge is a fundamental property of matter. Charge is measured in Coulombs, C.
3
Q
What is Voltage (Potential Difference)?
A
Voltage (Potential Difference) is the energy carried per 1 Coulomb of Charge. Voltage is measured in Volts, V.
4
Q
What is Resistance?
A
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of charge, measured in Ohms.
5
Q
What is a Series Circuit?
A
A Series Circuit is a Circuit where the current only has one route it can flow through.
6
Q
What is a Parallel Circuit?
A
A Parallel Circuit is a Circuit with multiple routes the current can flow through.
7
Q
What is Ohm’s Law Equation?
A
Ohm’s Law Equation is Voltage = Current x Resistance.
