Electric Circuits Flashcards
He formulated Ohm’s law.
Non-ohmic materials = few materials that do not abide by Ohm’s law.
Georg Simon Ohm
the bulbs are connected in one path.
Series Circuit
the bulbs are connected in two or more pathways.
Parallel Circuit
These are devices that protect electrical equipment from power surges, spikes, and voltage fluctuations.
Voltage Protectors (Surge Protectors)
These are used to ensure a safe voltage limit across circuits.
Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)
The potential difference between two points in an electric field. The cause of current.
Voltage
The rate of flow of electrons.
Current
it is the voltage source in a circuit.
The longer line is the positive terminal.
The shorter line is the negative terminal
Battery
It is used to reduce current flow in a circuit.
Resistor
It closes and opens the circuit
When the circuit is open, there is no current flowing around the circuit
Switch
It is the pathway for the current to flow in the circuit
Wire
It turns electricity (electric energy) to light and then heat.
It is the one of the common loads in an electric circuit.
