Electric circuits Flashcards
bulb symbol
circle with a cross in the middle
resistor symbol
line then a blank rectangle in the middle
voltmeter symbol
circle with a V in the middle
ammeter symbol
circle with an A in the middle
fuse symbol
a rectangle with a line going through the middle of it
where do you put an Ammeter in a circuit
in the circuit
where do you put a voltmeter in a circuit
its connected in parallel on the outside of the circuit
voltage in a series circuit
it splits
voltage in parallel circuits
it stays the same
current in a parallel circuit
it splits when it meets a junction
current in a series circuit
stays the same
power equation
VOLTAGE X CURRENT
current equation ( with power)
POWER / VOLTAGE
voltage equation (with power)
POWER / CURRENT
Voltage equation ( with resistance)
CURRENT X RESISTANCE
