coe & dc Flashcards
Electric Current definition
coe & dc
rate of flow of positive charges
coe & dc
Potential Difference between 2 points
coe & dc
amount of energy per unit charge converted from the electrical energy to other forms of energy when the charge passes between the 2 points
Electromotive Force (emf) definition
coe & dc
the amount of energy converted per unit charge from other forms of energy to electrical energy when the source drives a charge around a complete circuit
Resistance definition
coe & dc
ratio of the potential difference across the component to the current flowing through it
Parallel Circuit
coe & dc
has 2 / more paths for the current to flow through
Series Circuit
coe & dc
has only 1 path for the current to flow through
Direct Current Circuit definition
coe & dc
a circuit where the direction of its current or polarity of voltage remains constant
