Electrical circuits Flashcards
How do you work out power?
Power=current X voltage
How do you work out I?
I means current
Current = power/voltage
What is the units for charge
Coulombs C
How to work out resistance?
Resistance= voltage/current
What is the units for resistance?
Ohms
How do you work out energy in circuits?
Energy= power X times
How do you work out energy with charge?
Energy= voltage X charge
How do you work out energy usage?
Energy usage= powar X time
What is a diodle
It is like a valve in a circuit, it only lets the current flow one way
What is current measured in?
Amps
What is a fuse and why is it important?
A fuse is a thin piece of wire which is designed to melt if the current flows for it is too high
A fault in a circuit might cause a large current
This may damage the device or start a fire
A fuse is to prevent this from happening
