Electricity Flashcards
What side of the battery do electrons leave?
They leave the negatively charged end
Voltage definition
Energy supplied to each coloumb of charge
Voltage and Current are A- not proportional B- indirectly proportional C- inversely proportional D- directly proportional
D - directly proportional
What is a non ohmic resistor
A resistor that changes based on the current
If two potential dividers are connected as a Wheatstone bridge how do you find the reading on the voltmeter
1- work out voltage at R2
2- work out voltage at R4
3- reading = difference between R2 and R4
What does EMF 1.5V mean?
1.5J of energy is supplied to each coloumb of charge passing through the cell
A second resistor is added in parallel to a first resistor what happens to the reading on the voltmeter?
2 resistors means R(Total) decreases
Current increases
Lost volts up
Voltmeter reading down

What is I and what’s it measured in
Current measures in A (Amperes)
