circuits Flashcards
…………are connected always in……………across the componments.
voltmeters
parrallel
what are always connected in a series?
ammeters
how do you work out the voltage out?
voltage out = voltage in x resistance _ total resistance
what is current?
current is the rate of flow of charge
how do you work out the voltage?
voltage = current x resistance
how do you work out the resistance?
resistance = voltage _ current
how do you work out the current?
current = voltage _ resistance
what does LDR mean?
light dependant resistor
what happens as the light gets brighter on a LDR?
the resistance decreases and the current increases
how do you work out the resistors in series?
Rt = R1 + R2 + R3
how do you work out the resistors in a parrallel?
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
how do you work put the frequency?
1/time period
how do you work out the power?
enery _ time
how do you work out the engery?
voltage x charge
