Electricity Flashcards
How do you find potential difference and what are the two power equations
V=IxR
P=VxA
P=I2xR
Name all types of resistors
Resistor/Light dependent resistor/Fuse/Thermistor/
What does LED stand for
Light emitting diode
Which way does current flow
Positive to negative
What does current and potential difference do in series and parallel circuits
Current in series circuits is the same. While in parallel it is shared.
Voltage is shared in series and the same in parallel
What are the units for W V I R
W=Watts
V=Volts
I=Amps
R=Resistancce
What happens if the wire length increases
The resistance increases
What is the equation for charge flow and what are the units
Q=Ixt
Coulombs=Ampsxseconds
What colours are neutral live and earth wires and their voltage
Neutral Blue 0V
Live Brown 0V
Earth Yellow and Green 230 V
Energy equations
E=Pxt
E=QxV
Types of transformers
Step up increases voltage and decreases current
Step down decreases voltage and increases current
Whne does thermistors resistance change
Temperature increase temperature decrease
