Ch 8: 4.29.19 Daily Quiz material

Question 1

the flow of electric charge over time

Answer 1

current

Question 2

electrical potential energy per unit charge

in common parlance, “voltage”

Answer 2

electric potential

Question 3

the flow of electrons

Answer 3

electricity

Question 4

equation: current

Answer 4

current (I) is charge (q) over time (t)

units:

C/s (coulomb per second)

1 C/s = 1 A (amp)

Question 5

what can be thought of as the “push” electroncs feel to move?

Answer 5

electric potential

note: similiar to the relationship between water pressure and the movement of water

Question 6

equation: Ohm’s law

Answer 6

electric potential (E, in volts [v]) is current (I, in amps [A]) times resistance (R, in ohms, [Ω])

Question 7

the continuous flow of electrons

Answer 7

curent electricity

examples: lights (once turned on); essentially anything that runs on electricity

Question 8

opposition to electric flow

Answer 8

resistance

Question 9

“one jump” of electrons

Answer 9

static electricity

example: lightning
