Physics Chapter1 Flashcards
What two particles attaract
Protons and electons
Where does charges come from?
The cell or battery pushes charges around the circuit. The charges are already in wires.
What is a potential difference
The cell or battery that gives the push to keep it moving.
How to measure potential difference?
Use a voltmeter and measure in volts (V).
What is a serie circuit?
A circuit where all the bulbs forms one loop including the battery and switch.
What is a parallel circuit?
There is more than one loop and are driven by the same battery.
How to calculate the current?
Current(A)= potential difference (V)

Resistance (Ω)
How to calculate resistance of a component?
Resistance (Ω)= potential difference (V)
———————————
Current (A)
What two magnet sides attract?
North Pole and South Pole.
How do you find a magnetic field?
Using compasses or iron fillings.
