C11 - voltage energy and power Flashcards
what is potensil difernace
used when charges loose energy y transferring electrical energy to other forms
what is electromotive force
when charges gain electrical energy from a power suplu or battery
what is equation for potential difernace
energy lost by charge/charge
what is power
the rate at which energy is transferd
what two qualities determine the rate at which energy is transferd
current
potential difference
what is equation for amount of energy transferred §
potential difference x charge
what is equation for power
potential difference x current
what is a fuse
a device that will blow if the current is too high, preventing overheating
what is the equation for a PD across the resistor
current x resistance
what is a killer-what hour
amount of killerwhats transferd over the course of an hour
