What direction do electrons flow?
Electrons flow anticlockwise, the negative is attracted to the positive.
Define current:
A flow of electric charge.
Define volts:
The difference of electric potentials between point A and point B.
Components of electrical circuits:
Power supply
Conducting leads
A load (resistance)
A switch
What is a power supply in an electrical circuit?
A source of electrical potential energy such as; a battery or power point.
What are conducting leads in an electrical circuit?
Metal wires that conduct an electrical current that allow electrical energy to travel through to the load.
What is a load (resistance) in an electrical circuit?
The electrical device where the electrical energy is converted into another energy.
List some forms of energy:
Electricity Kinetic energy Light Heat Potential energy
