No
What is potential difference measured in?
Volts (V)
What is current measured in
Amps (I)
What is resistance measured in?
Ohms
What is a series circuit?
A circuit that is 1 complete loop
What is a parallel circuit?
A circuit that has 2 or more different circuits within a circuit
Where do you put a voltmeter on a circuit?
Across a component
How do you draw a regular bulb on a circuit?
✖️in a circle
How is the voltage in a parallel circuit shared?
It is the same in all parts of the circuit
How is the voltage in a series circuit shared?
It is shared across the compoments
What is static electricity?
Static electricity is when objects either gain or lose electric charge in the form of electrons
Can static electricity move?
No.static electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place but does not move
Objects that lose electrons become _____ charged?
Positively (+)
Objects that gain electrons become _______ charged
Negitavely (-)
How is static electricity generated?
Electrons are passed from one object to another by rubbing .eg. Friction
What is a conducter of electricity?
A conductor, or electrical conductor, is a substance or material that allows electricity, heat, light or sound to flow through it
What is an insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it
Define electricity
Electricity is the flow of electrons from one place to another
