Electrical Resistance Flashcards
0
Q
Variable resistors
A
When resistance is decreased current will flow through will when it is manually increased, it will restrict the flow of charge
1
Q
Resistance (ohms)
A
Something that restricts the flow of charge
High resistance converts electrical energy into heat energy
2
Q
Thermistor
A
When heated, resistance decreases
At room temperature, resistance is large
3
Q
Light dependant resistors
A
When light intensity is increased, resistance decreases
When light intensity is decrease, resistance increases
4
Q
Diodes
A
Current can only flow in one direction
High resistance one way low the other way
