What is a circuit?
A electric path that transmits electricity
What is a circuit?
A electric path that transmits electricity
What does a circuit consist of?
Conducting Path
Load
Power Supply
What does a circuit consist of?
Conducting Path
Load
Power Supply
Series Circuit
Made by connecting end of one device to start of another
Parallel Circuit
Same Terminals of both devices are connected together
Ions
Atom or molecule with overall net charge
Ionic Bond
Chemical bond which oppositely charged ions electrically attached
Cation
Ion with positive overall net charge (lost electrons)
Anion
Ion with negative net charge (gained electrons)
What is electricity?
When energy is carried by movement of electrons
What are electrons?
They contain electric charge (positive or negative)
Static electricity
Electrons that build up in one spot (don’t move)
Current Electricity
Passes Brough a flowing and free pathway
What is energy?
It is the capacity for doing work
Types of energy
Kinetic
Thermal
Nuclear
Chemical
Exothermic
Reaction that gives off heat
Endothermic
Reaction that absorbs heat
What is ohms law?
Formula used to calculate relationship between current, voltage and resistance
What is a resistor?
Materials that don’t allow easy current flow & contain lots of bonds between atoms
What is a fixed resistor?
Resistance is fixed
What is a variable resistor?
Resistance that can be varied by adapting the length of a wire (greater length = greater resistance = lower current)
What is the Ph scale?
A universal method of testing how acidic or basic a substance is.
If the substance is <7 = acidic if it’s >7= basic
If it equals 7 it is neutral
The more hydrogen in the substance, the lower the ph it has
What is current?
The flow of electrons along a conducting path (amps)
