Current in series circuits Flashcards
1
Q
Where do electrical currents flow?
A
- negative end of the cell - positive end of the cell.
- Carrying energy from the cell and pass the energy to the components in the circuit.
2
Q
What happens when the electrons return to the positive end of the cell?
A
- When electrons return to the positive end of the cell:
- ## Carrying less energy when they left the negative end.
3
Q
What is a series circuit?
A
- Has no branches.
- Current can flow in only one path.
- Current is the same all the way around.
4
Q
What is an electrical current?
A
- Flow of electrons around a circuit.
- ## Electric current= Ampere or Amps.
5
Q
How to we measure the current?
A
- Using an ammeter.
-
6
Q
Is current ever used up?
A
No.
