Circuits (5/9) Flashcards
Voltmeter
Measures voltage in a circuit, ideal resistance is infinite
-Parallel with circuit element of interest, ideal resistance is infinite
Ammeter
Measures current in a circuit, ideal resistance is zero
-In series with circuit element of interest, ideal resistance is zero
Ohmmeter
Measures resistance of a resistor, ideal resistance depends on the design
-connect to each side of a resistor, ideal resistance depends on design
When a circuit with a capacitor and a voltage battery is on for a long time
the charge on the capacitor will be max because capacitors take while to build full charge
When a circuit with a capacitor and a voltage battery is on for a long time
the charge on the capacitor will be max because capacitors take while to build full charge
When changing the length and the distance, how does it affect capacitance?
C=A/d
so anything done to Area, multiply by 2 and add that as the coefficient
anything done to distance, just add the coefficient given
